Where to get the fastest broadband speeds in South Africa

Randjiespark in Johannesburg has the highest average mobile broadband speed, while Garsfontein in Pretoria has the highest average fixed broadband speed.

These findings were revealed in an analysis of 400,000 speed tests done during the first two months of 2022 using MyBroadband’s speed test app.
 
Your methodology is flawed.


You should be reporting what is available in the neighborhoodz, not what people have signed up for

The article is flawed:
1. I can sign up for 1000Mbps on Vumatel but I wont as I dont need the speed, and the pricing is too high. My 50Mbps is sufficient for my needs.
2. Secondly, it based on amount of people in an area doing a speedtest.

So basically, if the majority in my neighbourhood, signed up for the highest speed available and did the test we could theoretically win the highest average speed test. But so can many other neighbourhoods in the big cities.

I would also like to know how accurate this speedtest is to determine your location. I'm on Frogfoot in EL and all websites think I'm in J/Burg.
 
My ISP is in Cape Town, as I am, but Speed Test says I am using VOX in Jhb?
