These are the companies who control the Internet in South Africa

If you use an Internet connection in South Africa, it is very likely that you are going through one of these companies.

Not listing DFA as a major player is a mistake imo.

Pretty sure they own more fibre than say VC, MTN, Cell C combined.

I don't know, but doesn't DFA connect its fibre to one or more of the named players?

DFA just owns the infrastructure other companies can use.

 

[DJ...]

DFA provides infrastructure to just about all of those named...

Inneresting. Thanks.

They're effectively the landlord.

Not only does DFA own a big chunk of the active fibre but they also own a *massive* amount of fibre that is currently unlit but could be lit at a moments notice. Guess why they're called Dark Fibre...

Wish they'd list...but thats not happening.

Not fibre carrying internet traffic I dont think.
Most of their fibre is connecting base stations to the relevant cell network.

Only fairly recently have they been using their fibre to sell significant wholesale internet capacity

I would have listed them in the top section myself
