History
Fibertime was founded in 2022 by entrepreneur Alan Knott‑Craig.[1] The company began its operations in South Africa’s fibre broadband sector, with initial deployments reported in township areas such as Kayamandi in the Western Cape.[1]
Industry articles in 2025 reported that the network had expanded to additional townships across several provinces and was available in locations including Alexandra, Diepsloot, and Kayamandi.[1]
Services
Fibertime provides FTTH services using a prepaid voucher model. Independent sources describe offerings that include daily vouchers for uncapped 100 Mbps connections, and family plans that allow multiple devices to connect for a fee quoted in industry reporting.[1]
Network deployment and coverage
Independent industry reporting indicates that by late 2025, Fibertime had connected a substantial number of homes to its fibre network. One report stated that around 200 000 homes were connected across numerous townships and cities in South Africa, and that the network had expanded into or near nine cities including Bloemfontein, Durban, East London, Grahamstown, Kimberley, and Stellenbosch.[1]
Another technology news source reported that the company planned to extend coverage to a further 400 000 homes with support from network equipment suppliers.[2]
Partnerships
Regulatory developments
Reports in South African technology media noted that the Competition Commission had given approval to a proposed deal involving Fibertime and other industry parties concerning last‑mile fibre infrastructure in township areas.[3]
