Licence terms should be at least 15 years, with modest reserve prices, and spectrum set-asides should be avoided in favour of sharing models like leasing.

Cool Ideas, one of South Africa’s highest-rated fibre Internet service providers, has launched its new 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) solutions, expanding high-speed connectivity to households and businesses beyond traditional fibre coverage zones.

Building on its LTE offering introduced in 2023, the new 5G service delivers faster speeds, lower latency, and more consistent performance, designed to mirror the fibre Internet experience.

Benefits of Cool Ideas 5G Fixed Wireless

The 5G Fixed Wireless service uses a dedicated wireless router to provide reliable, high-speed Internet suitable for:

  • Streaming HD and 4K content
  • Online gaming with low latency
  • Video conferencing for remote work
  • Everyday browsing and downloads

This launch marks a major step in bridging South Africa’s connectivity gap, ensuring that communities without fibre access can still enjoy reliable, uncapped Internet.

Transparent Pricing and Uncapped Plans

Cool Ideas has introduced simple, uncapped pricing plans across multiple speed tiers:

  • Unlimited Speed Plan – R899 per month
  • 100Mbps Plan – R559 per month
  • 50Mbps Plan – R359 per month
  • 20Mbps Plan – R259 per month
  • 10Mbps Plan – R199 per month

All packages are uncapped, unshaped, and transparent, with no hidden conditions, continuing the company’s reputation for customer-first service.

Award-Winning Internet Service Provider

Renowned for its award-winning fibre services, Cool Ideas has already secured four MyBroadband Awards for reliability, customer support, and performance. The company aims to replicate this same excellence with its 5G product line, ensuring users receive the best possible Internet experience.

Availability and Expansion

The Cool Ideas 5G Fixed Wireless Access service is already live in selected South African regions, with rollout expanding to more areas in the coming months.

Customers can check coverage and sign up directly through the official Cool Ideas website.
