A fast-growing internet provider focused on simplicity
Webafrica is a leading residential internet service provider (ISP) offering fibre, fixed-LTE, and legacy ADSL connections.
Known for its transparent pricing, no-contract options, and digital self-service tools, Webafrica has become one of the country’s fastest-growing broadband providers, serving hundreds of thousands of homes.
The company markets itself as the ISP “for everyone,” focusing on reliability and affordability rather than long-term lock-ins.
Webafrica also provides value-added services like VoIP and router bundles, but its main focus remains on internet access for households.
Infrastructure model and common outage causes
Webafrica delivers internet access over multiple open-access fibre networks, including Vumatel, Frogfoot, Openserve, Octotel, and others. It also offers wireless broadband through LTE partnerships.
This flexibility enables wide availability but means service reliability depends on partner networks.
Typical causes of downtime include:
- Fibre network faults on the open-access provider’s infrastructure
- Scheduled maintenance on LTE or backhaul links
- Authentication or DNS issues within Webafrica’s network
Customers can verify whether a fault is provider-side or regional using the tools available on Webafrica’s website.
