    FNOs

    The networks behind your line

    Your ISP rents capacity from a Fibre Network Operator. The FNO determines whether you can even get fibre at your address, and which speeds your line supports.

    Openserve

    The Telkom-owned FNO and the largest open-access network nationally. Mostly asymmetrical speeds, broadest geographic reach.

    Vumatel

    Largest residential FNO in metro SA. Symmetrical Vuma Core for suburbs, prepaid Vuma Reach for townships.

    Frogfoot

    Cape Town–strong open-access network with FTTH, FTTB and Frogfoot Air fixed-wireless products.

    Octotel

    Cape Town's largest open-access fibre network. Symmetrical speeds, strong ISP marketplace.

    MetroFibre (Nexus / Nova)

    Dominant in Pretoria, Centurion and parts of Joburg. Symmetrical speeds and growing ISP support.

    Smaller FNOs

    Mitsol, Comtel, Zoom, Fibre Geeks, Balwin, Evotel - strong in specific estates and suburbs but rarely available outside their footprint.

    How to choose

    Pick the right ISP for you

    Step one is always coverage: which FNOs have lit your street? That eliminates 80% of choices instantly. Once you know your network, the question becomes which ISP to use on it.

    For pure price + everyday streaming, Webafrica wins. For deep technical support and gaming peering, Cool Ideas or MWEB. For the widest plan range and bundled extras, Afrihost. Don't pick on brand alone - performance varies suburb-by-suburb.

    FAQ

    ISP questions

    Around 16 primary fibre ISPs operate at scale: Afrihost, Webafrica, Cool Ideas, MWEB, RSAWEB, Vox, Vodacom, Supersonic, Telkom, MTN, Cell C, Herotel, Home Connect, Axxess, Rain and a growing list of regional players.

    The Fibre Network Operator (FNO) - Openserve, Vumatel, Frogfoot, Octotel, MetroFibre - owns the physical cables in the ground. The ISP rents bandwidth from the FNO and bills you. Your line speed is set by the FNO; your support, peering and price by the ISP.

    Raw line speed is identical between ISPs on the same FNO. Real-world performance differs on peering, contention and routing - Cool Ideas, MWEB and Webafrica typically lead the MyBroadband rankings for streaming and gaming.

    Webafrica is consistently the cheapest mainstream ISP for entry-level uncapped fibre, especially on Openserve and Frogfoot. They include free install and free router on every plan.

    Yes - on open-access networks (all the major SA FNOs) you can port your line between ISPs without a new technician visit. The handover takes 24–72 hours, often with no downtime if scheduled correctly.
