Nine major fibre network operators are providing over 1.5 million households with the fastest and most reliable form of broadband Internet. These are the biggest players.
MyBroadband asked South Africa’s major FTTH operators about their plans for the rest of the year.Below are the latest updates from the remaining FNOs regarding their rollout strategies.Frogfoot chief product officer David Coleman said that Frogfoot was focused on growing the penetration of its network within existing coverage areas.
“The target is areas that do not currently have fibre, near to our current network, where there is demand for fibre internet connectivity,” MetroFibre said.That figure is the second-lowest of the major FNOs. That means MetroFibre is seeing among the lowest returns on investment on its rollouts, but also has a great opportunity to sign up new customers.
MetroFibre said it was also monitoring the market for further consolidation opportunities, with a view to considering potential acquisitions.Octotel chief operating officer, Scott Cunningham, told MyBroadband the operator was continuing to build out its trenched fibre networks at a consistent month-on-month rate.
