Fantastic satellite Internet in South Africa — but only for big business
While low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite services are still not officially supported for personal use in South Africa, multiple companies are already selling the next-generation satellite connectivity to corporates and large businesses.
LEO services offer significantly faster speeds and lower latency than conventional geosynchronous (GEO) services because the satellite constellations LEO services use orbit much closer to Earth than GEO satellites.
