Back to School with Gaming Fibre Rewards from UrbanX

The back-to-school season doesn’t just affect learners! It also marks a return to full work routines, busier households, and heavier reliance on fast, reliable internet throughout the day.

From online learning and video meetings to cloud-based work tools, streaming, and gaming, modern households need fibre that can keep up without interruptions. To support families and professionals getting back into rhythm, UrbanX is running its Back to School Gaming Fibre promotion, pairing performance-focused connectivity with practical rewards for new customers.

What New Customers Get with UrbanX’s Back to School Promotion

This promotion is available to new UrbanX signups only, with rewards issued once services are successfully activated.

R250 Takealot Voucher (New Signups on 100Mbps+ Packages)

New customers who sign up for any UrbanX Gaming Fibre package of 100Mbps or faster will receive a R250 Takealot voucher, issued after their service is successfully activated.

The voucher can be used for back-to-school or back-to-work essentials, from stationery and office supplies to tech accessories.

Stand a Chance to Win Essential Stationery Packs (New Signups – Any Speed)

All new UrbanX signups, regardless of selected speed, will also stand a chance to win essential school stationery packs once their service is activated.

There is no minimum internet speed requirement to qualify for the competition entry.

One Fibre Connection for School, Work, and Gaming

As households return to structured routines, internet usage increases across the entire day. Learners access online platforms, parents rely on video calls and cloud systems, and evenings often shift toward streaming and gaming, all sharing the same connection.

UrbanX Gaming Fibre is designed to support this mixed-use environment by focusing on both network performance and intelligent routing, not just headline speeds.

UrbanX benefits from strategic peering agreements with major platforms and local exchanges, allowing traffic to reach popular services more directly. This helps reduce unnecessary hops, lower latency, and deliver more consistent performance, particularly noticeable during gaming sessions, video calls, and real-time applications.

Built on Performance, Visibility, and Control

Beyond peering, UrbanX customers have access to networking tools that provide greater visibility into how their connection performs.

These tools include:

• Looking Glass tools to test routing paths and latency

• Live network status pages for transparency during maintenance or incidents

• Performance-focused routing designed to prioritise stability and low latency

This approach gives our customers confidence that their connection is not only fast, but actively monitored and optimised.

Double Referral Bonuses – Earn R300 per Successful Referral

Alongside the Back to School promotion, UrbanX is offering double referral bonuses for a limited time.

How the Referral Credit Works

• Standard referral credit: R150

• Back to School referral credit: R300 per successful referral

• Referral credit is applied only once the referred customer’s service has been successfully activated

Referring friends, family, or colleagues who are also upgrading their home connectivity is an easy way to earn account credit while helping others get connected.
