What's the best fibre in Observatory?
Octotel was the first major FNO to trench Observatory and now covers virtually the whole suburb. The symmetric upload tiers are the big draw here - UCT-adjacent demand skews heavily toward students, freelancers and content creators, and Octotel's same-up-as-down lines are a real upgrade over the Telkom-era asymmetric setup.
Openserve runs a wide overlay across Observatory for budget households, and Frogfoot adds month-to-month and prepaid flexibility for renters - the dominant demographic here. Most addresses get a real three-way choice.
