RSAWeb and Mweb offer the cheapest uncapped 100Mbps prices among eight prominent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and four major fibre network operators, a MyBroadband comparison shows.<\/p>\n

Metrofibre announced<\/a><\/strong> that it was upgrading and doubling the speeds of all its packages at no extra cost to customers.<\/p>\n

Just weeks before, Openserve, Vumatel and Frogfoot implemented price increases<\/a><\/strong> across their packages.<\/p>\n

Fibre packages less than R970 per month saw an increase of R30, while packages greater or equal to R970 per month increased by R50.<\/p>\n

Before the increases, prices offered by Metrofibre were notably higher than other networks in South Africa.<\/p>\n

Following these price changes, MyBroadband compared uncapped 100Mbps fibre packages offered by major ISPs through various operators \u2014 including Openserve, Vumatel, Frogfoot, and Metrofibre.<\/p>\n

These packages are on a month-to-month basis and offer free installation and a free-to-use router.<\/p>\n

However, if you cancel these packages before the end of 12 months, you\u2019ll have to pay the installation fee.<\/p>\n

Telkom is the exception. Its month-to-month packages require an upfront payment of R4,033, including the router, connection, and installation fee.<\/p>\n

Customers who sign a 24-month contract are exempt from Telkom\u2019s once-off fees.<\/p>\n

The following tables show the price comparisons between fibre network operators and the various ISPs.<\/p>\n
