Home Affairs offices are still using Internet connections slower than the lowest offered to home users on DSL, fibre, fixed-LTE, and 5G.
The Department of Home Affairs continues to use Internet connections with slower speeds than those of the cheapest broadband packages available to households in South Africa.
The minister believes the below-par Internet connections are a fundamental part of the DHA’s systems regularly being slow or appearing offline. Sita previously said that the DHA had bought the cheapest possible DSL service with the lowest service-level agreement , which caused its prolonged downtime issues.
Starting with fixed-line options, the slowest download speed available from major Internet service providers was 5Mbps on DSL and 4Mbps on fibre.
