Is the cheapest line enough?
For one or two people who browse, stream in HD and take the odd video call, a 10-30 Mbps line does the job, and the sub-R400 options are genuinely fine. Where the cheapest plan starts to strain is a busy household: several 4K streams at once, big game downloads, and a couple of people on calls in the same hour.
If that's you, stepping up to a 50 or 100 Mbps line is usually worth the extra rand. Our how much speed do you need guide gives a quick household-size rule of thumb.
What to check before you grab the cheapest
- Symmetry. The very cheapest line (Web Connect 10/5) is asymmetric - fine for browsing, less so for big uploads. The 30/30 options give you matching upload.
- Coverage. The price means nothing if that network isn't on your street. Check first on MWeb coverage.
- The once-off fee. Budget for the small order/processing fee (around R249) on your first invoice.
