What's the best fibre in Melville?
Melville sits in old Joburg's fibre heartland, trenched alongside Parkhurst and Greenside in the early Vumatel years. Coverage is dense, the install pipeline is mature, and symmetric tiers are the norm - including gigabit on most streets.
Openserve runs a wide overlay across Melville too, giving most homes a genuine two-network choice. Vumatel typically wins for upload-heavy work (calls, cloud backups); Openserve sits cheaper at entry tiers.
