MyBroadband recently had the opportunity to test SpaceX’s Starlink satellite Internet service in the popular Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

South African households whose primary mobile broadband connection goes down during load-shedding or campers who want fast Internet in the bushveld might find investing in a Starlink kit worthwhile.

MyBroadband recently had the opportunity to test a Starlink kit provided by IT LEC in the Sun City-adjacent Pilanesberg Game Reserve in the North West. On Vodacom, we measured a download speed of 67.47Mbps, upload of 6.81Mbps, and 30ms ping on a test using a Samsung Galaxy A54. Unfortunately, we did not have an MTN SIM on hand during the visit, although the operators’ website showed its coverage in the area was similar to Vodacom’s.
