South Africans can get uncapped fixed-5G packages for as little as R449 a month, with some providers offering speeds up to 500Mbps.<\/p>\n
However, it should be noted that while these plans are uncapped, some are subject to fair usage policies (FUPs).<\/p>\n
A MyBroadband analysis found that Axxess’ Standard 5G package is the cheapest on the market at R449 for a month-to-month service.<\/p>\n
It offers best-effort speeds until a threshold of 300GB is reached, after which speeds are throttled to 2Mbps. The service provider says its uncapped packages can reach 500Mbps.<\/p>\n
MTB’s MyMTN Home Premium plan is the next cheapest. It offers speeds up to 35Mbps and throttles the connection to 10Mbps after 500GB of usage.<\/p>\n
The MyMTN Home Pro plan costs R499 on a month-to-month basis.<\/p>\n
Rain recently revamped its product offerings, replacing its fixed-5G packages with Rain One<\/a><\/strong> (stylized rainOne).<\/p>\n The plan combines mobile and fixed-wireless connectivity, offering uncapped data, free monthly calls and data for two phones, and a fixed-5G connection for R559 monthly.<\/p>\n The R559 per month price applies to its base Rain One package, which offers speeds up to 30Mbps.<\/p>\n Customers can upgrade their speed to 60Mbps and 100+Mbps (unlimited) for R200 per “level”, going to R759 and R959 per month, respectively.<\/p>\n Axxess doesn’t designate its uncapped fixed-5G products based on speeds, instead offering a best-effort service on all of its packages.<\/p>\n It differentiates its uncapped fixed-5G products based on the usage limit before throttling is applied to the connection.<\/p>\n Therefore, its customers are essentially paying for higher data allocations before throttling as they go up the subscription tiers.<\/p>\n Its top-tier Axxess Ultra 5G plan features a 1,600GB for best-effort speeds, after which they are throttled to 2Mbps.<\/p>\n It should be noted that although Vodacom offers fixed-5G products, it implements a hard cap once a certain threshold is met. Therefore, its products aren’t truly uncapped and weren’t included in this comparison.<\/p>\n The table below compares the uncapped fixed-5G packages available in South Africa.<\/p>\n It should be noted that Telkom’s uncapped 5G products are only available on 24- or 36-month contracts. Prices shown are for 24-month contracts.<\/p>\n MyBroadband compared the uncapped fixed-5G products available to South African consumers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":341076,"featured_media":465867,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_facebook_post_id":"","_sma_instagram_post_id":"","_sma_threads_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[62528],"tags":[1669,1765,66016,35,42,43716,86049,53051,109,64593],"class_list":["post-490337","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-5g","tag-afrihost","tag-axxess","tag-fixed-5g","tag-headline","tag-mtn","tag-rain","tag-rain-one","tag-supersonic","tag-telkom","tag-uncapped-5g"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490337"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/341076"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=490337"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490337\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":493851,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/490337\/revisions\/493851"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/465867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=490337"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=490337"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=490337"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n\n
