What is Metrofibre on Network?
Metrofibre Networx is one of South Africa's larger open-access fibre operators, running two distinct residential brands on a shared backbone - Metro Nexus for higher-LSM suburbs and complexes, and Metro Nova for broader freestanding-home rollouts. Either way, the network is the wholesaler; ISPs like Webafrica, MWeb, Afrihost, Vox and RSAweb sit on top and handle the customer relationship.
Metrofibre's headline differentiator is symmetric speed across most tiers - the upload matches the download, which is rare on residential fibre and matters for anything upload-heavy (video calls, cloud sync, remote work). Coverage is strongest in Gauteng (Centurion, Pretoria East, Sandton outskirts) and growing in Cape Town and KZN.
A comparison of Network deals
We track 44 live Network packages from Metrofibre. Here's how the line-up shapes up.
| Metric | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest line | R379 | 30/30 Mbps · Mweb |
| Fastest line | 1000 Mbps | R1 189/month · Metro Nexus |
| Best value | R1.19/Mbps | 1000 Mbps at R1 189 |
| Symmetrical | 39 of 44 | packages upload at download speed |
Your address dictates Nexus vs Nova - you don't choose. Pricing is essentially identical between the two at the same speed, so the real comparison is between ISPs (router included, contract terms, support reputation).
