Net Nine Nine Set To Transform South African Communities Through Fibre Internet

Net Nine Nine fibre internet is a leading South African FNO and ISP that leverages an innovative business model to deliver tangible change in underserved communities using fibre Internet.

Since starting exclusively in the Kagiso township, Net Nine Nine has expanded rapidly and now offers fibre Internet across eight of South Africa’s nine provinces.

The company’s fibre-optic cables are made from hair-thin strands of glass. They transmit pulses of light over long distances through the glass, which are then translated into data & then a WIFI signal at the “Optical Network Terminal” (AKA router) in homes.

Fibre internet is not affected by the weather, is not shared with others, and is less prone to theft because it contains no precious metals or materials.

The key to Net Nine Nine’s success is integrating each community it serves into its core business processes.

Net Nine Nine first meets with community leaders to get a comprehensive understanding of the people’s needs, as well as to learn which community members should be hired to facilitate key fibre services in the area.

These community members perform tasks like running the local Net Nine shops and providing customer support to those around them.

Net Nine Nine Chief of Staff, Nicholas Thipe, said, “We find that people know what fibre is, but many are not aware that they could also participate in helping to connect their communities beyond the physical labour.”

“We are changing lives and giving community members skills they never thought they could have – all while giving communities critical access to affordable connectivity.”
