    Häufig gestellte Fragen

    The growth of fibre-to-the-home subscriptions in South Africa has been explosive, increasing by 65 percent in a single year through the end of 2024. Connections jumped from approximately 1.5 million to nearly 2.5 million, marking a significant shift in the country's digital landscape. This rapid expansion is narrowing the usage gap and providing the essential high-speed connectivity required for modern South African enterprises to thrive.

    XGS-PON technology is transitioning from a futuristic concept to a mainstream reality within the South African business sector. It represents the high-speed frontier of connectivity, ensuring that vital tools like video conferencing and cloud backups function without the frustration of freezing or slow speeds. As the oxygen of modern enterprise, this advanced fibre technology allows businesses in areas like Rosebank and Umhlanga to operate with world-class efficiency.

    The South African digital divide is being challenged as fibre networks expand beyond major hubs into secondary towns and townships. Infrastructure giants are emerging through mergers to create massive new networks, while innovative prepaid business fibre models are opening doors for startups. These changes ensure that high-speed internet is no longer restricted to primary office parks but is becoming as vital and accessible as the roads we drive on.
