Openserve price hikes from 1 April

South Africa's second-biggest fibre network operator (FNO) Openserve will increase the wholesale prices of its fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) products from 1 April 2025.

The FNO typically adjusts its FTTH pricing on this date every year, aligning with the start of the financial year of its parent company Telkom.

But now have to wait, since everyone going to up prices on all products.

Does the 40/20 even still exist?

When I chose MTS, they were the cheapest. Now they definitely not anymore.

For some people this enough. Personally, 50/50mb should be sufficient for a small household.

Oh man, wish I could choose them, don't have the choice of low speeds with my two options.

We have to consider again with fiber providers and their price increase. Telkom was the cheap option but not anymore.

They have already increased their pricing. I got notice of this recently from Cool Ideas.

Fiber prices can't go up forever each year though. Surely there will come a point where it has to plateau.

Slowest speeds offered are 50/25. I could probably manage with the 40/20 if Afrihost actually offered it but I can't find any evidence that they do - same goes for the 20/10 package.

The 40/20Mbps and 20/10Mbps refer to Openserve Web Connect.

Thanks.

Funny how last time they softened the blow with a [mandatory] speed bump, but not this time.

Looks like it’s all ISP’s.

No collusion, its just coincidence, that vumatel and openserve bump prices at the same time.
