Netstream specialises in getting whole estates and complexes online, and it tends to do the network build for the body corporate at no cost.
The story behind Netstream
Based in Randburg, Netstream is an open-access operator, explicitly not an ISP, that concentrates on fibre inside residential estates and sectional-title complexes rather than blanket suburb rollouts.
How Netstream works
Netstream is an open-access network: it owns and maintains the fibre in the ground, but it doesn't sell you the internet directly. Instead, several independent ISPs ride the same line, and you choose which one to buy from, and you can switch ISP later without a new installation. That's why our coverage check shows the network at your address, then lets you compare the ISP packages on it by real monthly price.
Where Netstream reaches
Netstream’s footprint is in Gauteng and the Western Cape, and it’s estate- and complex-specific rather than national, so coverage really does come down to your particular development.
Speeds & signing up
Plans run from low entry tiers up to around 200 Mbps symmetrical and unshaped, through ISPs such as Afrihost, Webafrica, Vox and Cool Ideas. Netstream often includes perks like free in-home installation for a period after the build. Check your address to compare.
Common questions
Is the network build really free for our complex?
Netstream markets free builds for body corporates, with the in-home install also free for a period afterward, confirm the current terms when you enquire.
