Hi folks

We are doing an article on the biggest ADSL ISPs (most subscribers) and just want to make certain we did not miss a big one…

Can you please give what you think the biggest 6 or 7 ISPs are in terms of ADSL subscriber numbers…we will then check it against our stats. Even if you just list one or two it will be great!

Thanks and regards,

RPM
 
Thanks for the feedback so far...please keep it coming!

Hi Kiepie

That is what we are trying to do. It is only for an article so it will not be very accurate, but will give a good idea as to who the big players are in the ADSL space...
 
I'd think cybersmart, openweb, webafrica and mweb(due to contracts and dial up move overs, and biggest advertisement spending etc).Not forgetting Ti(Telkom Internet of cause) which might be the biggest due to the way their ADSL sales team works hand in hand with ADSL line adverts etc.
 
Based on marketing seen in the media place (Not just this forum).
I would say this might come close as a list of the big players.

In order of ADSL customer base size:
1) Telkom
2) MWeb
3) Atlantic (Linked to DataPro)
4) Axxess
5) WebAfrica
6) DataPro
7) OpenWeb
8) CyberSmart
9) Polka (Linked to MWeb)
10) AllYouCanEat

Plus some of the above ISPs have been around for many years and have a big advantage of having a large client base to convert over to ADSL. RPM, it's going to be a very interesting article and look forward to reading it.
 
Tier 1 ISP's
1) Saix
2) IS
3) Datapro
4) MTNNS
5) Sentech
6) Verizon

The rest of us just hang of one of these guys!
 
@xdsluser - those guys won't be ISPs, they are backbone providers. They don't provide consumer internet services.
 
ABSA also offer internet services to their customers. Would be interesting to know what percentage of their customers utilize the service
 
In terms of ADSL ISP's

Datapro own @lantic so it all falls under Datapro The are quite large. Mweb and Telkom must be the largest. I would also then Say IS.

I base my reasoning on the following: Large ISP would sell more than 10 000 GB per month. I only know of 5 ISP's that do
