Speedsurf — wireless internet provider in Durban, South Africa
Speedsurf sells fixed-wireless broadband around Durban under the name Air Fibre, run from an office in Montclair and written Speed Surf in some directories. The company owns and manages its own network rather than reselling somebody else’s, and it carries that network into the Teraco data centre over two diverse paths. Home lines start at R499 a month and business lines at R2,499, with every package price, install fee and contract term published on the site.
Key facts
| Who they are | A KwaZulu-Natal internet service provider selling fixed-wireless broadband to homes and businesses around Durban. Speedsurf owns and operates the network it sells on, and states that it runs two diverse paths into the Teraco data centre with multigigabit capacity and a fully routed design that can carry BGP or VLAN handover |
| Air Fibre is wireless, not fibre | The Air Fibre name describes the product, not the medium. A receiver goes on the roof and talks to a Speedsurf tower, so no phone line and no trenched fibre are needed at the property. Worth knowing before you compare the price against a ground-fibre quote |
| Home packages | Five uncapped tiers, all unshaped and unthrottled at a 10:1 contention ratio: 25/12Mbps at R499, 30/15Mbps at R699, 40/20Mbps at R799, 50/25Mbps at R899 and 100/50Mbps at R999 a month. Speeds are published as “up to” figures and prices include VAT |
| Business packages | Six symmetrical tiers on a 1:1 contention ratio: 20Mbps at R2,499, 50Mbps at R3,199, 100Mbps at R3,999, 150Mbps at R4,599, 200Mbps at R5,599 and 500Mbps at R12,999 a month. Business accounts include an SLA, 24-hour monitoring and one static IP address, with a /29 block on request |
| Installation and contract | Home installs are free on a 24-month term with clawback, R1,500 on a 12-month term with clawback, or R2,999 once off to stay month to month with no clawback. The month-to-month figure rises to R4,500 on the 100Mbps package. Cancel inside the term and the full install fee is billed. Business lines carry a 36-month minimum. Standard install covers the receiver, wall bracket, an entry-level router and the first 20 metres of cabling |
| Credit vetting | Speedsurf states that its Air Fibre service involves no credit checks and no credit vetting |
| Head office | 191 Anelno Road, Montclair, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, 4004. The company Google profile spells the street “Anleno Rd”, so expect either spelling on a navigation app |
| Coverage | Durban and surrounding areas, which the company says it is expanding. No town or suburb list is published, so a coverage check against your exact street address is the only reliable answer. The coverage map also covers home and business ground fibre |
| ICASA licence | No ICASA reference is published on the site. Ask for it in writing if your procurement process records licence numbers |
| Company details | Neither a founding year nor a registered legal entity is published anywhere on the site, so this listing does not state one |
| Pricing | Published in full for home and business, including install fees, contract terms and the early-cancellation clawback |

A roof with a clear view of the tower decides this one
Fixed wireless is a line-of-sight product, so the question that settles a Speedsurf order is not the price list but whether a receiver on your roof can see one of their towers. That is why the company asks for the exact installation address rather than a suburb, and why an install survey comes before a firm answer. Durban and its surrounds are the footprint, and it is being extended, which means an address that failed a check last year is worth re-testing. Because Speedsurf runs its own towers, backhaul and routing rather than reselling a national network, the installer, the support desk and the account all sit inside one company, and there is no third party between the business and Teraco. Home lines share capacity at 10:1 and business lines do not share at all, so the jump from R999 to R2,499 buys a contention ratio and an SLA rather than raw speed. Compare the wider market in the wireless provider directory.
Who Speedsurf is a fit for
- Durban homes and small offices at addresses ground fibre has not reached
- Buyers who want the monthly price, the install fee and the cancellation terms published before they commit

Give the exact street address so it can be checked for line of sight to a Speedsurf tower, and say whether the line is for a home or a business. The two ranges are priced and contracted very differently: home Air Fibre runs at 10:1 contention from R499, while business Air Fibre is symmetrical and uncontended from R2,499 on a 36-month minimum. Mention any static IP, SLA or routing requirement upfront, since those sit on the business range only.

Is Speedsurf Air Fibre actually fibre?
No. Air Fibre is a fixed-wireless service and the name refers to the product rather than the technology. A receiver is mounted at the property and connects wirelessly to a Speedsurf tower, which is why the company advertises that no phone line and no ground fibre line are needed. Speedsurf does also offer home and business ground fibre, checked through the same coverage map.
How much does Speedsurf cost per month?
Home Air Fibre runs from R499 a month for 25/12Mbps up to R999 for 100/50Mbps, across five uncapped tiers. Business Air Fibre starts at R2,499 for a symmetrical 20Mbps line and runs to R12,999 for 500Mbps. All published prices include VAT.
Which areas does Speedsurf cover?
Durban and its surrounding areas, and the company says the footprint is expanding. No suburb list is published, so the coverage map or a direct check against your street address is the dependable route. Fixed wireless also needs line of sight, so two neighbouring addresses can get different answers.
What does Speedsurf installation cost?
A home install is free on a 24-month contract with clawback, R1,500 on a 12-month contract with clawback, or R2,999 once off if you would rather stay month to month with no clawback. That once-off figure is R4,500 on the 100Mbps package. Clawback means the full install fee becomes payable if you cancel inside the term.
Does Speedsurf stay up during load shedding?
The service is not affected by load shedding at the network end, but the equipment at your property still needs power. Speedsurf sells an UltraLAN micro UPS for this, an inline DC unit rated 17W and 8.8Ah that it says will keep an Air Fibre installation running for up to four hours and switches over automatically.
What is the difference between Air Fibre and Air Fibre Business?
Contention and support, more than speed. Home Air Fibre shares capacity at a 10:1 ratio and is asymmetric, with upload roughly half of download. Air Fibre Business is symmetrical, runs at a 1:1 contention ratio and adds an SLA, 24-hour monitoring and a static IP address, on a 36-month minimum term.
