Fibre price war — Cheapest network operators in South Africa

A fibre-to-the-home price analysis revealed that Openserve and Frogfoot are the most affordable fibre network operators, while Metrofibre is the most expensive.

This analysis followed price cuts by two of South Africa’s largest fibre network providers – Vumatel and Octotel.

In June, Vumatel reviewed and adjusted its products to simplify its product offerings in line with ISP feedback.

As part of this adjustment, Vumatel increased the speeds of all its services and replaced its entry-level 10Mbps product with a 20Mbps service.

Just goes to show that you don't always get what you pay for.

Yup don't pay for advertising so the ISP doesn't get mentioned in the so-called "unbiased" reporting.

Can we now shame Openserve for not having a 1gbit option?

Axxess just dropped their Octotel 100/100Mbps to R940

Yeah but that doesn't really matter when the support is in the toilet, I'm still waiting for my line to be upgraded, paired with the fact that we're working from home meaning that I am held hostage as we cannot have downtime due to swapping isps, ISP of the year my arse.

With Vumatel it's as easy as clicking their shop.vumatel login site and switch...a month's notice applies. With Openserve, it means there is a waiting time with lots of headaches
