Fibre shake-up in South Africa — Cheapest 500Mbps and 1Gbps connections

Numerous fibre network operators (FNOs) offer South Africans fast and affordable 500Mbps or 1Gbps fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) connections.

These top-end speeds let users download and upload large files in the shortest time possible on a relatively broadly-available Internet connection in South Africa.

Jan what about an article about the router you need to run these top speeds

This is with the free Afrihost provided Huawei AX3 from a Samsung S20FE:

I don't know of any ISPs who currently give out routers that can't support gigabit.

Or do you want an article to help with third-party purchases?

A few years ago some still ran 10/100 - but as you say, most have changed to Gbit Zyxel, MikroTik, Huawei, Calex etc.

My Calix is weird though - Gbit ports but only 2.4ghz wireless. Generally those two specs go together. So I can run my (soon to be) 500Mbps to the router - but I need a mesh to get that over WiFi

I would like to see an article investigating these networks and ISPs for the reasonableness of their prices. Our prices when compared to that in other countries (not on a dollar comparison because corporates use that to confound us) still appear very high.
