Why Openserve reaches the most homes
Openserve is Telkom's wholesale fibre arm, and it carries the widest fibre footprint in the country.
Where the metro-focused networks concentrate on dense suburbs, Openserve stretches into secondary cities and smaller towns as well, which is why it's so often the only fibre option outside the big centres. Independent roundups of SA's networks consistently put it at or near the top on reach (see WhichVoIP and Telecoms Channel).
For you, that breadth means MWeb on Openserve is the line most likely to be live at your address, especially if you're not in a Vumatel or Frogfoot stronghold. Confirm it on our MWeb coverage page.
MWeb's Openserve lines, specifically
Widest coverage
Openserve reaches further than any other SA fibre network - the metros plus a long list of smaller cities and towns from Cape Town to Polokwane.
Symmetrical lines
Most MWeb Openserve tiers give you the same upload as download, which matters for video calls, cloud backups and working from home.
Unshaped traffic
MWeb stripped throttling from its Openserve range, so no traffic class is deprioritised against streaming or gaming.
Stable pricing
Openserve is one of the more price-stable networks MWeb sells on, which makes budgeting easier year to year.
MWeb has steadily cut prices and dropped throttling on its Openserve range over the past couple of years (reported by Telecompaper). The figures above are indicative - the live table and MWeb's own page carry the current price for your address.
Openserve or another network?
If more than one network covers your street, the line quality is broadly similar - so compare on price and the speed you actually need. MWeb also sells on Vumatel, Frogfoot, Octotel and others; the full picture is on the main MWeb fibre page, and you can weigh MWeb against rival ISPs on best fibre deals.
