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.

Netstream fibre coverage map — how to check your address

Netstream publishes a broad coverage map, but a network-wide map only shows the suburbs where Netstream has built — not whether the fibre has actually reached your home. Coverage is laid street by street, so two houses a few doors apart can be on different sides of the rollout. The only reliable check is at your exact address.

Instead of reading Netstream’s map and then checking each ISP one by one, enter your address once on FibreScout: we confirm whether Netstream is live at your home right now, and show every ISP package on the line by real monthly price.
