Vumatel is close to surpassing Telkom’s peak number of fixed Internet users, roughly a decade after it flipped the script on home fibre feasibility in South Africa.
South Africa’s biggest fibre network operator , Vumatel, has nearly one million customers connected to its fibre-to-the-home network.
That approach ensured competition in pricing and service delivery, while the FNOs themselves could remain focused on infrastructure expansion. The second-largest FNO — Telkom’s Openserve — had 1.29 million homes passed with FTTH by September 2024, with 640,730 households connected. While it regards improving its connection rate and monetisation of existing assets as critical, it plans to continue building and expanding its coverage following demand.
