An Eastern Cape base with national reach
Amobia runs its head office out of Gqeberha and keeps contact numbers for Johannesburg and Cape Town, which is a different shape from the Gauteng-first ISPs that dominate this category. For an Eastern Cape business that is a real advantage, because the support team and the account are close to the site. The wider offering is worth understanding before you buy: connectivity, voice, solar and a child-safety app all sit on one account, and bundling them can make the monthly figure hard to compare against a pure fibre quote. Price the line on its own first, then decide whether the backup-power side belongs in the same contract. Other regional options are listed in the fibre provider directory.
Who Amobia is a fit for
- Gqeberha and Eastern Cape businesses that want a locally based ISP
- Homes and offices needing connectivity and backup power from one supplier
- Buyers who want fibre with a wireless option where fibre has not arrived

Where is Amobia based?
The head office is at 33a Worraker Street, Newton Park, Gqeberha. The company also lists contact numbers for Johannesburg and Cape Town, so support is not limited to the Eastern Cape.
What does Amobia fibre cost?
Fibre is advertised from R399 per month and fixed wireless from R395 per month. Those are entry figures on the lowest tiers; the price for a specific speed depends on the network available at your address. For reference, the 13 verified Fibre providers on WhichVoIP that do publish prices charge R279–R795 per month for an entry package, rising with speed and a business SLA — a yardstick for the figures above.

Does Amobia sell business phone lines?
Yes. Business voice is sold in Base, Express and Enterprise tiers with different call rates. Ask for the full rate sheet, because per-minute rates matter more than the plan fee once call volumes rise.
Why does an ISP sell solar?
Backup power keeps the router and the ONT running when the grid does not, which is why several South African ISPs now sell it. Treat it as a separate purchase with its own quote rather than a discount attached to the internet line.
How fast is Amobia fibre?
Fibre tiers run from 20Mbps up to 1000Mbps. Fixed wireless is a narrower band at 8Mbps to 20Mbps, so it works as a fallback where fibre has not been laid rather than as a like-for-like replacement.
Is Amobia licensed by ICASA?
No licence reference is published on the site. That is common for ISPs reselling on open-access networks. Request the number in writing if you need it recorded.
