A real-world comparison between Openserve and DFA\u2019s fibre offerings in similar office parks revealed that Openserve\u2019s offerings are far superior in nearly all respects.<\/p>\n
To get fibre at your office depends on which fibre network operators have infrastructure at the office park.<\/p>\n
The price you pay and the service levels you receive will depend largely on the fibre infrastructure provider and not your Internet service provider (ISP).<\/p>\n
A good comparison comes from two office parks next two each other in Centurion. The office parks were built by the same developer, and both offer premium quality office space.<\/p>\n
There is one difference \u2014 one office park has Openserve as a fibre network provider, while the other has DFA.<\/p>\n
Tenants in the building served by Openserve enjoy fast installation and affordable fibre services.<\/p>\n
Those served by DFA are not that lucky. They have to wait months for a fibre service to be installed and have to pay multiple times more than their counterparts in the other office park.<\/p>\n
MyBroadband did a comparison of the real-world experience of two companies in the different office blocks, and the difference is telling.<\/p>\n
The company which uses fibre from Openserve received their fibre within a week after applying for the service.<\/p>\n
They are now paying R917 per month for an uncapped 100Mbps service on a month-to-month contract.<\/p>\n
The other company was forced to sign a 24-month contract before the installation process could begin.<\/p>\n
Nearly three months after applying for the service they are still waiting for it to be installed and will have to pay R3,999 for an uncapped 100Mbps service.<\/p>\n
The table below provides a side-by-side comparison of DFA and Openserve\u2019s service offerings in the two office parks.<\/p>\n
