What Joburg fibre costs per network
There are 344 Joburg plans in the table above, spread across 14 fibre networks. They are not interchangeable: the cheapest way onto Metro Nexus is R299 a month, while the same question on Zoom Fibre 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.
| Network | Joburg plans | Cheapest | Speed | Best R/Mbps, any plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metro Nexus | 36 | R299/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R1.24 |
| Openserve Web Connect | 9 | R307/mo | 10/5 Mbps | R10.68 |
| Comtel Fibre | 22 | R337/mo | 5/5 Mbps | R1.34 |
| Evotel | 29 | R355/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R1.35 |
| Vumatel | 43 | R409/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R0.70 |
| Vuma Reach | 9 | R417/mo | 20/10 Mbps | R7.99 |
| Frogfoot Air | 4 | R435/mo | 25/10 Mbps | R17.40 |
| Openserve | 49 | R437/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R1.00 |
| Fibonacci | 11 | R447/mo | 15/15 Mbps | R1.69 |
| Metro Nova | 27 | R449/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R1.33 |
| Mitsol | 14 | R587/mo | 20/20 Mbps | R1.40 |
| Balwin Fibre | 21 | R589/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R1.42 |
| 2 smaller networks | 70 | from R599/mo | various | see table above |
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 R299 for 30 Mbps on Metro Nexus, which is R9.97 per Mbps; the best unit price in the whole segment is R0.70 per Mbps. Paying a little more for a much faster line is usually the better deal; paying the minimum almost never is.
| Monthly | 12 months | 24 months | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promotional rate, if it never ended | R299/mo | R3 588 | R7 176 |
| Standing rate after promo | R495/mo | R5 940 | R11 880 |
| Once-off fee | R250 once | R250 | R250 |
| What you actually pay | R483/mo avg | R5 798 | R11 738 |
The first row is the number that gets advertised, and it is the one to ignore. Metro Nexus is discounted from R495 to R299 for the first 2 months, then steps up by R196 a month — a 66% increase on the rate that sold you the line. Over two years that is R11 738 rather than the R7 176 the headline price implies, which works out at R489 a month rather than R299. Budget on the standing rate and treat the discount as a rebate on the first few months. The totals above include the R250 once-off charge this line carries, but not a router you buy outright. 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.

A once-off installation or activation charge is paid once, so it weighs on year one and not on year two. Where a line wins on the advertised rate but loses over twelve months, check how long you expect to keep it, and compare on effective monthly cost rather than on the headline. Next: Compare every gigabit deal we track, on every network.

Where a Joburg line is the right buy, and where it is not
Both sides are computed from the 344 monthly lines we price on Johannesburg's 14 networks, so they move when those prices do.
Fibre in Johannesburg is the right buy if…
- Your street is on one of Johannesburg's 14 networksWe track live pricing on Metro Nexus, Openserve Web Connect, Comtel Fibre, Evotel, Vumatel, Vuma Reach, Frogfoot Air, Openserve, Fibonacci, Metro Nova, Mitsol, Balwin Fibre, Frogfoot and Zoom Fibre in Johannesburg, from RSAweb, Afrihost, MWeb, Webafrica and Vox. That is 344 monthly lines on this page, and which of them you can actually order is decided by the trench outside your door rather than by which ISP you would prefer. If one of those names comes back on a coverage check at your address, every price here is real for you.
- You are buying on price in JohannesburgThe floor here is Metro Nexus 30/30 Mbps uncapped from R299/month via RSAweb. It is a genuine monthly line rather than a pre-paid pass, and it is the cheapest thing anyone sells on a Johannesburg network that we hold a verified price for. Read the speed alongside it - the cheapest line in any city is an entry line, not a small discount on a fast one.
- You want a mainstream 100 Mbps line, not an entry one12 of Johannesburg's networks carry a 100 Mbps-or-faster line, and the price range between them is the thing worth knowing: Vumatel starts at R449 via RSAweb, Fibonacci at R939 via MWeb - 2.1x for the same headline speed. The tier most households should shop is this one, and in Johannesburg the network that reached your street matters more to the bill than the ISP you pick on it.
- You upload as much as you download220 of the 344 monthly lines in Johannesburg are symmetrical - 64% of them - so a matched upload is readily available here if you work from home, back up off-site or stream out. Filter the table on it rather than assuming the fast lines are the symmetrical ones; they are not the same question.
Who should look elsewhere
- Your address has no fibre yetEvery price on this page assumes one of these 14 networks has already reached your street, and in Johannesburg that is street-by-street rather than suburb-by-suburb. Check coverage at the exact address before you shortlist anything. If nothing comes back, this page cannot help you and fixed-wireless or LTE is the comparison to run instead.
- You are shopping off a national "from" priceThe cheapest fibre line we track anywhere in South Africa is R279 on FibreSuburb Networks, via MWeb - and FibreSuburb Networks is not in Johannesburg. The real Johannesburg floor is R299, R20 a month more. A national "from R279" headline is not wrong, it is just not an offer at your address, and that gap is the single most common reason a quote comes back higher than expected.
- The network you have been reading about is not in JohannesburgOctotel appears on our other city pages but does not carry a line we can price in Johannesburg. Coverage is per-operator and per-street, so a package you saw recommended nationally may simply have no footprint here. Shortlist on what a coverage check returns for your address, not on a brand.
- You want a gigabit on an entry-line budgetThe cheapest gigabit line we hold a verified Johannesburg price for is Vumatel 1000/250 Mbps uncapped from R699/month via RSAweb - 2.3x the Johannesburg floor of R299. No amount of comparing closes that: it is a different product rather than a better deal on the same one. If the budget is the constraint, the 100 Mbps tier is where to spend it.
