20 Mbps Fibre Media Streaming

There are 88 20 Mbps packages in the table above, spread across 33 fibre networks. They are not interchangeable: the cheapest way onto Fibre Geeks is R349 a month, while the same question on WeFNO starts at R697. Which networks reach your address is usually decided for you, so the useful comparison is within a network rather than across the whole list.

The last column is the best rand-per-Mbps available anywhere on that network, at any speed — not the unit price of the cheapest line beside it. The two are rarely close, and the gap is the argument against buying on headline price. The entry tier in this segment is R349 for 20 Mbps on Fibre Geeks, which is R17.45 per Mbps; the best unit price in the whole segment is R12.63 per Mbps. Paying a little more for a much faster line is usually the better deal; paying the minimum almost never is.

The first row is the number that gets advertised, and it is the one to ignore. Fibre Geeks is discounted from R449 to R349 for the first 3 months, then steps up by R100 a month — a 29% increase on the rate that sold you the line. Over two years that is R10 476 rather than the R8 376 the headline price implies, which works out at R437 a month rather than R349. Budget on the standing rate and treat the discount as a rebate on the first few months. Neither total includes installation or a router, because no per-package once-off figure is published for this line — most lines in this segment bundle both, and the deal cards above list what each one includes. Cancellation terms are the other cost that does not appear in a monthly price: no fixed term is not the same as no cancellation fee, and several ISPs here claw back a waived install if you leave inside six or twelve months.

Looking wider than this segment? Compare every fibre deal we track puts the full catalogue in one sortable table, and the cheapest fibre deals ranks the whole market on price and rand-per-Mbps rather than within one network.
