Fibre Coverage Map South Africa
We've stitched together coverage data from every major SA fibre network - Openserve, Vumatel, Frogfoot, Octotel, MetroFibre and Zoom. Check your street in seconds.
What exactly is a fibre coverage map?
A fibre coverage map is the best place to start for anyone hunting for fibre in their area. It's also how you verify whether a specific deal is actually available on your street and at your address.
For network-specific maps, visit our Openserve, Vumatel and Frogfoot pages. Most ISPs will show you multiple options available at your address - including the underlying network operator and the speed tiers on offer.
- • Coverage map of South Africa as a whole
- • Per-city coverage: Cape Town, Joburg, Pretoria, Durban, Sandton, Soweto
- • Quick links to the major Fibre Network Operators (FNOs) and ISPs
- • A street-level view of what's available on your block
How do coverage maps work?
Fibre coverage maps are essentially a database of physical addresses with records on whether fibre, LTE (4G) or ADSL is live in that area. The status is usually shown as active or not available - though some maps add a third option for planned rollout, plus a way to register interest if fibre hasn't reached you yet.
Because fibre coverage is mapped to an address book, the most important thing to know is this: be specific. If you type "Cape Town" into a coverage map, you'll likely see nothing at all. Zoom out, wait a moment for the map to populate, and suddenly you'll see most of Cape Town shaded in.
That's because the data is mapped to postcodes (and it takes a few seconds to load). If you type "Newlands, Cape Town, 7700, South Africa" you'll get a very different - and accurate - picture. Your best bet is always your exact street name and house number plus the city.
Don't get disheartened if your exact address isn't shown. Broaden the search to the wider area, and grab the ISP's email and phone number to confirm availability.
The expansion of fibre in South Africa
South Africa has seen massive growth in fibre connectivity over the past decade, with both government and private operators investing heavily in laying fibre infrastructure. The major players today include Telkom (Openserve), Vumatel, Frogfoot, Octotel, MetroFibre and Zoom - covering Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Pretoria, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein and beyond.
One of the most significant developments has been the 2Africa undersea cable, completed in 2024. With a total length of 37,000 km and capacity of up to 180 Tbps, it dramatically increases SA's international bandwidth - improving speeds for households and attracting more digital investment into the country.
Fibre is now available in most major cities and towns. However, availability still varies by suburb and provider, so checking the coverage map of each ISP remains the only reliable way to know what's on your street.
Fibre coverage in Cape Town
Since 2014, Cape Town has rolled out over 800 km of fibre optic cable and now hosts 1,717 free Wi-Fi zones. By 2030 the city aims to deliver affordable high-speed internet to every citizen. Three networks dominate: Openserve, Octotel and Frogfoot - with Openserve the most widely available, especially across the Southern Suburbs (Constantia, Diep River, Tokai, Westlake, Plumstead, Claremont, Kenilworth, Bishopscourt, Newlands).

Fibre coverage in Johannesburg
There's strong fibre connectivity across the suburbs surrounding Johannesburg - Bryanston, Woodmead, Sunninghill, Ferndale, Parktown and Northcliff are all well covered. Some pockets have only partial coverage: Fourways Mall itself isn't on the map, but Fourways Gardens Estate is.
Vuma and Openserve are the two dominant networks in Joburg, offering well-priced packages from 20 Mbps up to 1000 Mbps. Vumatel's FTTH story actually started here - their very first deployment was in Parkhurst back in October 2014, and the suburb remains one of the most densely connected in the country.
The centre of Rosebank can still be patchy, but the surrounding suburbs (Melrose, Dunkeld, Parkwood) are solid. The table below is based on spot-checks across these suburbs - treat it as an overview and always confirm with your chosen ISP for street-level accuracy.

National fibre coverage
The Webafrica fibre coverage map covers the entire country - Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Pretoria and other major cities and towns. Use it to scan your area, then verify with the underlying network operator (Openserve, Vuma, Frogfoot, Octotel or Zoom).
4 steps to finding fibre in your area
Check coverage
Start with a coverage map to see which ISPs serve your area. We've split it by major SA cities - Cape Town, Joburg, Pretoria, Durban, PE and Soweto.
Add your address
Type the exact street address where you want fibre installed. Pick the matching option from the dropdown - coverage is mapped to postcodes, so be specific.
Review availability
If fibre is live, you'll see a list of packages. Compare them against what you actually need - don't pay for bandwidth you'll never use.
Request fibre
No coverage yet? Register your interest with the ISP - they'll notify you the moment fibre becomes available, or you can fall back to LTE in the meantime.
