Thinkspeed has been doing open-access fibre since before most South Africans had heard the term, it started life wiring up Century City back in 2011.

The story behind Thinkspeed

Launched in 2011 as Century City Connect, with the Cape Town developer Rabie as an equity partner, it was one of the country’s earliest carrier-neutral fibre networks. It rebranded to Thinkspeed in 2022 to shed the single-suburb association as it expanded.

How Thinkspeed works

Thinkspeed 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 Thinkspeed reaches

Its core is the Century City precinct in Cape Town, where it has long offered deep coverage; since rebranding it has been extending into further Western Cape areas.

Speeds & signing up

Speeds range up to about 1 Gbps depending on the ISP you choose, and no Telkom line is needed. Check your address to see what’s live.

Common questions

Is Thinkspeed only in Century City?

Century City is its heartland, but it now reaches additional areas, check your specific address to be sure.

Thinkspeed fibre coverage map — how to check your address

Thinkspeed publishes a broad coverage map, but a network-wide map only shows the suburbs where Thinkspeed 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 Thinkspeed’s map and then checking each ISP one by one, enter your address once on FibreScout: we confirm whether Thinkspeed is live at your home right now, and show every ISP package on the line by real monthly price.
