FTTH Price Shootout: Vodacom vs MTN vs Telkom
Last week Vodacom signed lease agreements with Fibrehoods, Openserve, Century City Connect, Vumatel and Dark Fibre Africa to deliver its fibre products.
Vodacom customers will now have access to the Vodacom Fibre services through these providers, including Vodacom Fibre Broadband, Vodacom Fibre Fixed Voice, and Value Added Services.
