Vodacom has cut the prices of all its Uncapped Broadband Connect Fibre offerings for businesses by\u00a0between 30% and 40%, and has introduced a 3Mbps entry-level option.<\/p>\n

Vodacom Business first launched its fibre-to-the-business (FTTB) services in September 2014.<\/p>\n

Vodacom’s\u00a0Broadband Connect Fibre uses the latest Passive Optical Network (PON) technology and gives businesses access to online services that were previously only available to large corporate customers.<\/p>\n

These services include video collaboration, voice over internet protocol (VoIP), Hosted PBX, Office365, Cloud Backup, and other data applications.<\/p>\n

The new monthly prices of the various Vodacom FTTB uncapped packages available\u00a0on\u00a0a 12-month contract are summarised in the table below.<\/p>\n
