This is how South Africa’s biggest mobile networks stack up against each other in terms of subscriber numbers, network performance, signal coverage, and more.
Vodacom, MTN, and Telkom have detailed coverage maps on their websites which show where they have 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, and 5G connectivity.
Based on these maps alone, it would appear that Vodacom and MTN lead with similar amounts of 4G coverage, albeit concentrated in different areas.Telkom is far behind in 4G coverage, which is why it relies on roaming agreements to connect customers in areas outside its availability area. MTN was the first to pass 1,000 5G sites in South Africa and had over 1,400 5G sites in South Africa at the time of publication. That is despite being beaten to the launch by Vodacom by about a month in 2020.
In November 2022, Telkom became the newest mobile network to commercially launch 5G connectivity on its network, with 136 live sites.
