South African neighbourhoods with the best broadband speeds

New analysis by MyBroadband Insights revealed that Doringkloof, Bromhof, and Linden are the South African neighbourhoods with the fastest average fixed broadband speeds.

This analysis is based on 600,000 speed test results collected through MyBroadband’s speed test app between 22 August 2021 and 22 November 2021.

The download speed, upload speed, and latency of the user’s broadband connection are tested during these tests.
 
Top Mobile Broadband Neighbourhoods in South Africa

My guess is, these areas do not have fibre, people are very dependent on mobile broadband - hence the high speeds linked to high usage i.e. big upgrades to the backhaul and RF from the Mobile Operators
 
Die area waarna verwys word is Welgevonden Estate.
Ons interwebs is blitsvinnig.
Aan die anderkant van die heining in Cloetesville proper, not so much...

Yup, this is the side where the fibre is at and most people are on 100mbps or more.

I see the rural areas like the Western Cape get upto 57mb on average.

Is it useable for every day life?
 
Amongst other things. When last did you ping the mybb server. We have - 5ms responses...
5ms?! That is 3 to many by Welgevonden Cloetesville standards.

I was on 1gbps for a few months but so few servers actually give you that speed so back to 100 I went.
