Lightstruck Fibre Network

Lightstruck Telecommunications is an open-access fibre network that focuses almost exclusively on Gauteng estates and complexes - places where the operator can build the in-development infrastructure end-to-end and offer it to multiple ISPs without dealing with municipal kerbside trenching. The model means cleaner installs and typically newer, less-congested infrastructure than older street-level networks.

Lightstruck is symmetric across every tier (your upload matches your download), which is unusual for residential fibre and matters for video calls, cloud backups and remote work. ISPs like Afrihost, Webafrica and Cool Ideas resell on it; the network sets the wholesale rate and the ISPs compete on price, support and bundled hardware.
