MyBroadband conducted its latest broadband survey recently (June 2012), revealing that 8ta<\/a> mobile broadband services tops the list of the best mobile broadband products in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The latest MyBroadband survey was completed by over 5,000 people, of which around 1,550 were wireless broadband users.<\/p>\n

Consumers were asked to rate various components of their mobile broadband service, including reliability, download speed, upload speed, latency, value for money and support.<\/p>\n

8ta received the highest average score which was boosted by a particularly high value for money rating.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview of the average scores (out of 10) of the prominent mobile broadband services in South Africa.<\/p>\n
