Competitive players
Stable ping and jitter under control. The variables should be in the lobby, not on your line.
Fibre for gamers
Fibre that takes your ping personally
Most fibre is sold on speed. Games are won on latency. We build for the number that actually decides the fight.

Routed for ping
We engineer our routing around Johannesburg's peering points so your traffic takes the short path to local game servers, not the scenic one.
No evening shaping
We don't throttle gaming traffic at prime time. The line you pay for is the line you get at 8pm on a Friday, when it actually matters.
Public IP available
Need port forwarding for your server, NAS or console? A real public IP is available on request, so hosting just works.
Upload that can stream
Symmetrical options mean your upload can carry a broadcast while you play, without wrecking the household's connection.
The path matters
Speed gets the headline.Routing decides the game.
Once you have enough bandwidth, gaming performance comes down to how efficiently your traffic reaches the server. We design around the route, not just the speed printed on the package.
01 / Player
Your device sends the input.
02 / Orbian edge
Traffic enters the network path.
03 / Game server
The shorter, cleaner route wins.

Gaming FAQ
The questions that decide a gaming line
- Why does ping matter more than line speed?
- Once you have enough bandwidth, extra megabits do nothing for gaming. What decides how the game feels is latency: how fast your input reaches the server and comes back. That's decided by routing, which is why we design for it.
- Can I host game servers or use port forwarding?
- Yes. Ask for a public IP on your service and inbound connections work the way they should. Tell us what you're hosting and we'll set the line up for it.
- Do you throttle or deprioritise gaming traffic?
- No. We don't shape gaming traffic in the evenings or at any other time.
- What do I do when my ping spikes?
- Log a ticket through My Orbian and it enters our support workflow immediately. Tell us what changed, when it started and what you were playing so our team has the context to investigate properly.
