MetroFibre slashes prices: uncapped 250Mbit/s for R799
and increased connection speeds, while also unveiling fresh corporate branding as the fibre broadband market in South Africa becomes increasingly competitive.
For MetroFibre Direct customers – those who do not get access to the company’s network through a third-party Internet service provider – the following changes apply:The 50Mbit/s, 100Mbit/s and 200Mbit/s packages have all been discontinued, replaced by a 250Mbit/s symmetrical uncapped connection costing R799/month.
The company said the above change is based on “extensive market research that shows customers want more speed and uncapped data”;“Dramatically” reduced pricing on a 1Gbit/s uncapped package, now R1 249/month. “To contextualise, this means that customers now receive 250Mbit/s at almost the same price as the 50Mbit/s package would have cost them a year ago. Both the 500Mbit/s and 1Gbit/s packages are now R551 and R701 cheaper, respectively, than they were one year ago,”“A customer can now get a 500Mbit/s package at a lower price than a 100Mbit/s package would have cost them a year ago, and can get 1Gbit/s at almost the same price that a 200Mbit/s package would have cost in 2022.
“As their needs have evolved rapidly, our response to those needs must move at pace, too, so small incremental enhancements in speeds or pricing alone are not going to demonstrate the power of real fibre speeds.” —
