    Openserve Fibre Connect/Web Connect/Prepaid Connect Uncapped

    What is the differentiating factor(s) for a house to qualify for either fibre option. I know that it can depend on target market, area, budget, etc (similar to vuma reach and vuma core). The reason I ask this is because in my area our house has been listed as being Fibre Connect compatible. Now...

    Price differences

    Hi so I guess for some this will be a stupid question, my apologies in advance, but why are business offerings from the same ISP for certain line speeds so much more expensive than say the same linespeeds they offer homes?

    ISP prices are up?

    Clearly there is a price increase on Afrihost's website. Current: End of December 2021: From the looks of it, even Openserve as an FNO got a price increase. Current: From last year: Same with Frogfoot: Current: From last year: Anyone knows if other ISPs are going to do an increase?

    How many FNO's are you covered by?

    I see that at a family member's place in Richards Bay, Frogfoot first rolled out in 2019 and went live beginning of 2020. Shortly followed by Vodacom Fibre. Looks like Openserve wants a piece of the pie now 2021. They are using existing copper ducts pulling fibre and installing bb's I feel...

    ADSL vs Fibre prices in SA

    ADSL vs Fibre prices in SA Home fibre packages in South Africa are cheaper than ADSL, a MyBroadband comparison shows. Although it's difficult to directly compare fibre and ADSL prices like-for-like because the speeds of these packages often don't align, it's possible to calculate a price per...

    Is Rain really that bad? What are the alternatives?

    Hey everyone, I'm currently looking at connectivity options for my home. I plan on moving out in the next 6 months so I don't want to invest in fibre installations/activations or contracts. LTE/5G seems like a good short term option until I can get fibre in my new place after 6 months. Rain...
