Moving Homes – How to Move your Webafrica Service

Moving home can be stressful, but moving your internet service does not have to be. You can request your move online through your Webafrica Customer Zone in just a few steps.

Before You Start

Before submitting your moving request, make sure you have:

  • Your new address
  • Your planned move-in date
  • Access to your Webafrica Customer Zone
  • An active Webafrica service

We recommend submitting your moving request at least 30 days before your move to allow enough time for installation and activation at your new address.

How to Request Your Move

Step 1: Log in to Your Customer Zone

Go to the Webafrica Customer Zone.

Log in using your Webafrica account details.

Step 2: Select Moving Homes

Once logged in, select Moving Homes from the menu.

Step 3: Complete Your Moving Request

Select the service you would like to move.

Enter your new address, choose your move-in date, and submit your request.

Once submitted:

  1. Our team will review your request.
  2. We’ll contact you to discuss your options and confirm availability at your new address.
  3. Our Moving Homes team will manage the process and keep you updated along the way.

What Happens Next?

The process may differ depending on the Fibre provider and whether your new home already has Fibre installed.

In some cases:

  • The existing Fibre line may still need to be released by the previous ISP.
  • Additional installation work may be required.
  • Your new address may only support certain Fibre products or speeds.

Our team will guide you through the available options.

Are There Costs to Move My Service?

A once-off moving fee may apply to Fibre services.

If a new Fibre installation is required, standard installation usually includes up to 30 metres of cabling. Additional cabling or special installation requirements may result in extra charges.

If you are moving from Fibre to LTE, standard cancellation terms for your Fibre service may apply.

Can Delays Happen?

Most move requests are completed smoothly, but delays can sometimes happen due to:

  • Existing line ownership at the new address
  • Delays from the Fibre Network Operator, also known as the FNO
  • Installation scheduling
  • Additional Fibre work is required at the property

Fixed LTE moves are generally quicker and simpler.

What Happens to My Existing Service?

This depends on the type of service you are moving.

Fibre to Fibre

Your existing Fibre service will be cancelled once your new service is ready.

Fixed LTE to Fixed LTE

Your existing Fixed LTE service will continue as part of the move process.

Fibre to LTE

Your Fibre service will be cancelled as part of the migration.

What Equipment Must Stay Behind?

Leave Behind

Please leave the following equipment at the property:

  • Fibre ONT box
  • Fibre wall cabling

The ONT is linked to the property and should not be removed.

Take With You

You should take the following with you:

  • Your router
  • Router power supply
  • Network cables

If your new service does not require the router, you may need to return it to Webafrica.

Need Help?

If you are unsure whether your new address can be connected, submit the moving request, and our team will confirm the options available to you.
