What do I need to sign up?

You need to have an active FNB account, need to be registered for FNB’s inContact services and need to have an ADSL Broadband enabled line.

Any serious drawbacks?

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) can’t think of any serious drawbacks except maybe for the fact that the telephone exchange in your area needs to support ADSL Broadband. This means that most FNB account holders who live in the rural areas won’t be able to access the Internet by making use of FNB Connect’s Connecti-FUEL ADSL service. We predict however, that FNB is going to expand their Internet access offerings in the future by deploying alternative broadband technologies such as WiMAX, WiFi, et cetera.

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) is happy to see that FNB has the courage to test the telecoms waters despite ABSA’s failure to succeed in the same arena. We believe FNB’s efforts in this regard will be highly successful because of their strong focus on affordability and other benefits.
