The Computer Hut Connecting Stanford with Fibre

Aaaah, the internet… without it there would be no video calls, instant messaging with cute emojis, last-minute ‘adding to cart’ or flipping through channels on your smart TV. The Computer Hut knows the value and importance of connecting people with each other, their favourite apps and online services. 

While many people are about to end the year with a well-deserved break, The Computer Hut will be gearing up for their busiest season to ensure everyone enjoying the festive season will have the best possible internet experience. 

Fibre For All

The guys at The Computer Hut have always had a strong commitment to family, connecting communities and watching live sport on a Saturday! With this in mind, after dominating the Gansbaai fibre market (+- 8000 homes passed), they went all out to ensure a solid fibre infrastructure was installed in Stanford north, south and the Klein River Estate (up until the Stanhaven Gate).

Working Together With Other Internet Service Providers

The Computer Hut wanted to give the people of Stanford the opportunity to choose their internet service provider. By sharing their exceptional tech skills, and world-class fibre infrastructure, they presented companies such as Orca and BDC with the opportunity to rent their fibre lines. 

Did you know? You are using The Computer Hut’s fibre backbone to the other service providers offices in town if you are a subscriber living in:
 
 • Stanhaven, Klein River Estate
 • Stanford north (the deal excluded Stanford south)

Fibre Installation - How It Works

The Computer Hut team will install fibre from the street boundary box to your home. The other service providers teams will then plug in your home router after the first boundary installation has been completed and,” Voila! You are instantly connected!”  

Local All The Way

The Computer Hut is as local as they get. The team is passionate about the area and the people who live in it, and are fully committed to being available when you need them. As a fibre network designer, builder, installer and internet service provider, The Computer Hut can provide the best service and turnaround time.
