Thirty years in, and the fixed IP is the tell
Adept has been trading since 1996, which in South African ISP terms is close to the beginning, and the shape of the business shows it. Every published fibre package carries a fixed IP address, which is a business-network habit rather than a consumer one, and it is what makes site-to-site VPNs, remote desktop and hosted PBX registration behave predictably. The company sells across four networks, so coverage is a per-address question rather than a per-provider one, and the same speed can cost different amounts depending on whether Vumatel, Openserve, Octotel or Frogfoot has built in your street. Two costs sit outside the monthly figure and are stated plainly: trenching beyond the included allowance, and VoIP on some packages. Compare the alternatives in the fibre provider directory.
Who Adept ICT is a fit for
- Businesses that need a fixed IP included with the line

When was Adept ICT founded?
Adept was launched in January 1996 in Stellenbosch. The company describes itself as one of the oldest ICT service providers in South Africa.
Which fibre networks does Adept sell over?
Vumatel, Openserve, Octotel and Frogfoot, each with its own published package range. Fixed LTE is sold as well, which is useful where none of the four has built.
How much is Adept fibre a month?
Published prices start at R549 a month for a symmetrical 30Mbps Vumatel line and run to R2,650 at the top of the Vumatel range. Openserve starts at R599, Octotel at R770 and Frogfoot at R820.
Do Adept packages include a fixed IP?
Yes. The published fibre packages state that a fixed IP address is included, which matters if you run a VPN, remote access or a hosted phone system over the line.
What are the once-off costs?
Once-off costs cover the physical installation of the fibre line by the layer 1 provider and remote router setup. Trenching beyond the included allowance is charged separately, and router delivery fees depend on the area.
Does Adept do more than internet?
Yes. Managed IT, Microsoft 365 and Azure, cloud backup, Mimecast email security, firewalls and web hosting are all sold alongside the connectivity, which is why the company positions as an ICT provider rather than an ISP.
