How much fibre-to-the-home costs in SA
The Parkhurst fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) project has disclosed Web Africa’s data prices for the Vumatel fibre network being deployed in the suburb.
Web Africa’s participation in Parkhurst’s fibre project was announced last Tuesday – 28 October 2014 – when Vumatel said in a press release that it had provided the first 1Gbps connections in the neighbourhood.
Vumatel announced in the same press release that Mweb and Smart Village would also be joining the list of Internet service providers (ISPs) offering services on the Parkhurst network.
This brought the total number of confirmed ISPs for the Vumatel network in Parkhurst to six, as Cool Ideas, Cybersmart, and Vox Telecom had already revealed their prices.
Mweb and Smart Village have not yet announced their pricing for the Parkhurst FTTH initiative.
