    Cheapest Openserve line at every speed tier

    One row per Openserve FTTH speed tier, showing the cheapest ISP we hold a verified price for and whether the line is genuinely symmetrical — upload matching download, which is what matters for video calls, cloud backups and streaming uploads. Every line is uncapped and month-to-month. Installation and router terms are set by the ISP, not by Openserve, and differ between the sellers in the table above.

    A once-off installation or activation charge is paid once, so it weighs on year one and not on year two. Where a line wins on the advertised rate but loses over twelve months, check how long you expect to keep it, and compare on effective monthly cost rather than on the headline. Next: Compare the cheapest fibre we track, on every network.

    Source: FastestFibre deal tracking, computed from the 58 monthly-billed packages we track. Ranking by advertised monthly price and ranking by what year one actually costs are not the same ordering: 1 of these 10 cheapest-advertised lines fall outside the 10 cheapest to own over 12 months, and 9 change position. The widest gap is RSAweb on Openserve (30/30 Mbps Uncapped), advertised at R437/month but R6 074 over 12 months — R830 more than the advertised rate implies. Totals charge the promotional rate for the months it runs, the standing rate thereafter, and the once-off fee where the operator publishes one. Monthly-billed packages only; pre-paid passes are priced per pass, not per month, and are excluded from per-month figures. As of 1 November 2026.

    Every Openserve line we track, ranked by rand-per-Mbps. Lower is better. The featured bar is the best rand-per-Mbps Openserve line in our catalogue - it is almost always a top-tier package, because the ratio rewards speed, so read it alongside the monthly price rather than instead of it.

    RSAWeb Openserve deals

    RSAweb is consistently rated one of the best ISPs in South Africa for support and uptime. Its Openserve range starts at R315 for a 10/5 Mbps Web Connect line, and its strongest rand-per-Mbps tier is 1000/500 Mbps at R1.00 per Mbps. It advertises the lowest price on 9 of the 10 Openserve FTTH tiers other ISPs also sell, and holds that lead over twelve months on 5 — the gap between those two numbers is costed tier by tier on RSAweb on Openserve.

    About the Network

    What is Openserve Fibre?

    Openserve Fibre is the high-speed broadband service from Openserve - the wholesale fixed-line division of Telkom SA. It uses fibre-optic cabling to deliver faster, more reliable connectivity than legacy ADSL or copper-based broadband. Since launching FTTH in 2015, Openserve has connected over 487 000 homes and passed 2.4 million premises with fibre, supported by 151 000+ km of national fibre and a top-tier domestic and international all-IP backbone.

    Openserve Fibre Connect

    Speeds from 30 to 1000 Mbps on the FTTH product, in both symmetrical and asymmetrical line options. Most ISPs on the network sell it month-to-month with no long-term lock-in; Vox is the exception we track, offering a 1, 12 or 24-month choice.

    Out-of-the-box setup

    Once the FTTH service has been installed, the customer simply supplies and configures a modem to be online - fast, simple, painless.

    B2B & rebranding

    ISPs can rebrand and resell Openserve FTTH services to their own customers, alongside other value-added OTT services.

    Largest SA footprint

    Over 151 000 km of national fibre, 487 000+ connected homes and 2.4 million homes passed at the cabinet - the biggest open-access reach in SA.

    3-Step Process

    How to find the best Openserve deal

    01

    Check Openserve coverage

    Openserve fibre is not available everywhere in SA - start by checking the coverage map for the customer's exact street address.

    02

    Pick an ISP that runs on Openserve

    Since July 2026 Openserve also sells direct through its own Openserve ISP web store - uncapped, month-to-month packages from R345 to R1,449/month with a free Wi-Fi modem and no installation fee. Most customers still buy through one of the 200+ partner ISPs, which compete on price and support - we recommend Webafrica for the best mix of price, support and free install. Read our full story on the Openserve ISP launch. Openserve isn't the only network operator with a direct-retail arm - Accelerit sells its own uncapped packages over Openserve and several other partner networks too.

    03

    Choose the right speed

    From 20 Mbps for browsing through to 500 Mbps for power households - pick the line that matches actual day-to-day usage.

    FAQ

    Openserve fibre questions answered

    Openserve is a wholesale open-access fibre network provider - it builds, installs and maintains the underlying fibre infrastructure. ISPs (like Webafrica, Afrihost or RSAWeb) then buy capacity on the Openserve network and re-sell it as a retail internet service. Since July 2026 Openserve also runs its own retail arm, Openserve ISP, but most customers still sign up through a partner ISP.

    Yes - as of July 2026. Openserve launched Openserve ISP, a direct-to-consumer retail service sold through its own web store: uncapped packages from R345 to R1,449 a month, month-to-month, with a free Wi-Fi modem and no installation fee. That said, the 200+ partner ISPs - Webafrica, Afrihost, RSAWeb, Cool Ideas, Vox, MWeb and many more - still sell on the same network and compete hard on price and support, so it's worth comparing both routes.

    A fibre-optic cable is installed from the nearest Openserve distribution point to the customer's premises. That cable is terminated into a fibre modem (ONT) inside the home, which converts the optical signal into Ethernet that the router and devices can use over Wi-Fi or cable.

    Yes. Openserve is the wholesale fixed-line network division of Telkom SA - one of the country's oldest and largest telecommunications operators. While Telkom Mobile (and Telkom's own ISP arm) sell retail services, Openserve operates as a separate open-access wholesale business.

    No, but it has the largest footprint of any open-access network in SA. Openserve is widely available across Gauteng, Western Cape, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape - including most major suburbs of Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Sandton, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and East London. Always run a coverage check on the exact street address.

    If the line was bought through a partner ISP, the ISP is the point of contact - Openserve doesn't see those customers on its retail systems. If there's a fault or query, the customer contacts their ISP, who in turn raises the issue with Openserve and dispatches accredited technicians where needed. Customers who signed up directly with Openserve ISP (launched July 2026) deal with Openserve itself.

    Openserve has invested heavily in battery backup and generator redundancy across its core network and most of its FTTH cabinets, so the line itself often stays up during load shedding. The customer still needs to power their own ONT and Wi-Fi router - typically with a small UPS or inverter.

    Fibre Connect is the modern fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) product - fastest, most stable, lowest latency. Copper Connect is the legacy ADSL/VDSL service running on copper telephone lines. Pure Connect is Openserve's standalone copper-based broadband product (no voice line required). Wherever fibre is available, Fibre Connect is the recommended option.

    No. Openserve fibre is completely independent from any voice/telephone line. The customer does not need a Telkom landline to order or use an Openserve fibre service.

    For light browsing, email and the occasional Netflix stream, 20–40 Mbps is plenty. For a typical work-from-home household streaming in HD/4K and doing video calls, 50–100 Mbps is the sweet spot. Power users with multiple 4K streams, gaming and large cloud uploads should look at 200 Mbps and above.
    The verdict

    Where Openserve is the right buy, and where it is not

    Both sides are computed from the 60 Openserve lines we track across every ISP selling them, so they move when those prices do.

    An Openserve line is the right buy if…

    • You want to compare across ISPs, not inside oneWe hold verified prices for 58 monthly packages from the ISPs selling on Openserve from 5 ISPs across 2 networks, from R307/mo for 10/5 Mbps Uncapped up to 1 000 Mbps. Comparing one ISP's own range cannot tell you whether that range is competitive.
    • You are buying on monthly priceThe cheapest genuinely-monthly line we track from the ISPs selling on Openserve is 10/5 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve Web Connect from Afrihost at R307/mo. That is the floor of this pool, not a mid-table price.
    • You are buying on value per megabit1000/500 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve from RSAweb works out at R1.00/Mbps against R30.70/Mbps for the cheapest line - the best rand-per-megabit in this pool at R997/mo.
    • You upload as much as you download21 of the 58 monthly lines here are symmetrical, from R437/mo for 30/30 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve. Matched upload is what video calls, cloud backups and streaming out depend on.

    • Your address has no fibre yetEvery price on this page is conditional on one of these 2 networks having reached your street, and that is decided by the trench outside, not by which ISP you prefer. Check coverage at the address first - if nothing shows, this page cannot help you and a fixed-wireless or LTE line is the comparison to run instead.
    • You are judging on the headline price alone1000/500 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve from RSAweb advertises R997/mo, but that rate runs for 2 months and then bills R1 695 - a jump of R698/mo, the steepest in this pool. 31 of the 58 lines here step up the same way. Compare what a line costs over two years, not what it costs in month one.
    • You have budgeted the monthly but not the once-off43 of the 58 monthly lines here carry a stated once-off charge - typically R249, and as much as R250 on 1000/500 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve. It lands on the first invoice, so a line that is a few rand cheaper every month can still cost more over the first year. The rest publish no figure at all, which is not the same as free.
    • You want a gigabit on an entry-line budgetThe cheapest gigabit we hold a verified price for from the ISPs selling on Openserve is 1000/500 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve from RSAweb at R997/mo - 3.2x the cheapest line on this page. No amount of comparing closes that gap; it is a different product, not a better deal.
    • You assume the cheapest line is the best valueIt is not. 10/5 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve Web Connect works out at R31.90/Mbps against R1.00/Mbps for 1000/500 Mbps Uncapped on Openserve - 32.0x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget at all, it buys far more per rand.
