MyBroadband compared the prices of 27 entry-level FTTH packages on Afrihost to see which operators offered the cheapest and best-value plans.
South African households can get entry-level fibre -to-the-home packages on over two dozen fibre networks from one of South Africa’s leading ISPs, priced at an average of R610 per month.
For our comparison, we used Afrihost due to the company’s solid reputation in the industry and wide fibre network operator support. Due to these significant speed variations, MyBroadband calculated the price-per-Mbps for download speeds, which will be the most important performance metric for most Internet users.It should be noted that we excluded certain budget-oriented FTTH packages, such as Frogfoot Air, Openserve Web Connect, and Vuma Reach, as they are available exclusively in low-income areas.
Out of the five major open-access operators, Vumatel had the cheapest monthly price, while Frogfoot offered the best value.Frogfoot’s 60/30Mbps plan for R597 per month had an effective cost of R9.95 for 1Mbps of download speed, making it the best-value entry-level plan.On the opposite side of the comparison was Lightstruck East’s 20/20Mbps plan for R847 per month, the most expensive entry-level package in real terms.
