For many years, fibre-to-the-home was a luxury which not many South Africans could experience – but things have changed recently.<\/p>\n

Many small fibre operators, including Vumatel, Frogfoot, Cybersmart, Octotel, and Fiberhoods, have aggressively grown their fibre footprint in major South African cities.<\/p>\n

South Africans living in these areas now have a choice between Telkom\u2019s ADSL and VDSL products, wireless broadband products, and FTTH services.<\/p>\n

The table below shows how uncapped FTTH prices from prominent providers compare against\u00a0the total price\u00a0of uncapped ADSL and VDSL services.<\/p>\n
