All Karoo Broadband customers can access the Karoo Standard dial-up services. This provides a 'Pay As You Go' back-up service, for the rare occasions when the Karoo Broadband services are offline, for a short period of time, due to technical difficulties.

Note: The availability may increase by upto 0.5km, if a KC engineer installs the ADSL line.
