Back to School & Work with Fibre Rewards from UrbanConnect

Back to School & Work with Fibre Rewards from UrbanConnect

January 04, 2026 | 4 min read

Lifestyle & Family

The start of the school year often goes hand in hand with a return to full work routines. Homes become busier, schedules tighten, and reliable internet becomes essential for everything from online learning and remote work to streaming and everyday browsing.

To help households transition smoothly, UrbanConnect is running a Back to School & Work Fibre promotion, offering practical rewards for new customers who sign up for fibre during this period.


What New Customers Get with UrbanConnect’s Back to School & Work Promotion

This promotion is available to new UrbanConnect fibre signups only, with rewards issued once services are successfully activated.

R250 Takealot Voucher (New Signups on 100Mbps+ Packages)

New customers who sign up for any UrbanConnect fibre package of 100Mbps or faster will receive a R250 Takealot voucher, issued after their fibre service is successfully activated.

The voucher can be used for school supplies, work-from-home essentials, or everyday household needs, helping ease the costs that come with the start of a new term.

The Takealot voucher does not apply to upgrades and is limited to new signups only.


Stand a Chance to Win Essential Stationery Packs (New Signups – Any Speed)

All new UrbanConnect customers, regardless of the fibre speed they choose, will also stand a chance to win essential school stationery packs once their service is activated.

There is no minimum speed requirement to qualify for the stationery competition, making this benefit accessible to a wide range of households.


One Fibre Connection for Learning, Work, and Home Life

As families return to structured routines, internet usage increases throughout the day. Learners rely on online platforms and research tools, parents attend video meetings and access cloud systems, and evenings are often spent streaming or browsing — all on the same connection.

UrbanConnect fibre is designed to support everyday digital life by focusing on:

  • Stable connectivity during working and school hours

  • Consistent speeds for video calls and online platforms

  • Reliable performance across multiple devices

This makes UrbanConnect a strong choice for homes that need dependable internet for both productivity and downtime.


Earn R300 with Double Referral Bonuses

Alongside the Back to School & Work promotion, UrbanConnect is also offering double referral bonuses for a limited time.

How the Referral Credit Works

  • Standard referral credit: R150

  • Promotional referral credit: R300 per successful referral

  • Referral credit is applied only once the referred customer’s fibre service is successfully activated
