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.
This promotion is available to new UrbanConnect fibre signups only, with rewards issued once services are successfully activated.
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.
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.
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.
Alongside the Back to School & Work promotion, UrbanConnect is also offering double referral bonuses for a limited time.
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
If friends, family, or colleagues are also looking to upgrade their home internet for work or school, referrals offer an easy way to earn account credit while helping others get connected.
This UrbanConnect promotion applies to:
New customers only, signing up for UrbanConnect fibre services
R250 Takealot voucher applies to new signups on 100Mbps or faster packages
Stationery competition entry applies to new signups on any speed
Referral credit is issued only after the referred service is activated
