The survey attracted 1 425 broadband and ISP subscribers, providing a comprehensive overview of how consumers perceive the biggest ISPs in the country.<\/p>\n<p>An overall &lsquo;Trust Percentage&rsquo; was calculated where the value indicates how &lsquo;trusted&rsquo; a provider is in relation to competing providers.&nbsp; A high percentage indicates that end-users trust a company more than its competitors while a low percentage means that consumers trust the company less than its peers.<\/p>\n<p>Another less significant value &ndash; the percentage of first places &ndash; is also given in the table below for the sake of interest.&nbsp; This value shows what percentage of consumers trusted a certain provider the most (hence ranked the company first in terms of trust).<\/p>\n<p>The following tables provide a snapshot of which ISPs consumers trust the most in South Africa.&nbsp; It should be noted that the ISPs were selected based on subscriber numbers and prominence which means that smaller companies were not included in the survey.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\"><table class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" width=\"100%\" bgcolor=\"#dee1fe\" bordercolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000033\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">ISP&nbsp;Trust Percentage<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#000099\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Provider<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#000099\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">% First Places<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#000099\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Overall Trust %<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Internet Solutions<\/td>\n<td>36<\/td>\n<td>77<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vodacom Business<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<td>66<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Telkom Business<\/td>\n<td>23<\/td>\n<td>61<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MTN Business<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>59<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MWEB Business<\/td>\n<td>8<\/td>\n<td>57<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Neotel<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Vox Telecom<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<td>42<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>iBurst Business<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<td>36<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<div class=\"table-responsive\"><table class=\"table\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" width=\"100%\" bgcolor=\"#dee1fe\" bordercolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000033\">\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Consumer ISP Trust Percentage<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td bgcolor=\"#000099\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Provider<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#000099\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">% First Places<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td bgcolor=\"#000099\"><strong><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Overall Trust %<\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axxess<\/td>\n<td>29<\/td>\n<td>69<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Web Africa<\/td>\n<td>28<\/td>\n<td>68<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Telkom Internet<\/td>\n<td>20<\/td>\n<td>56<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>MWEB<\/td>\n<td>14<\/td>\n<td>53<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cybersmart<\/td>\n<td>7<\/td>\n<td>49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/vb\/showthread.php?t=198500\"><strong>Most trusted ISPs<\/strong><\/a> &#8211;
