About this report
Figures are compiled from FibreScout’s live coverage data across South Africa’s open-access fibre networks, refreshed regularly. “Live” means a network is operational in at least part of a suburb; coverage is built street by street, so always check your exact address for the definitive answer. 13 areas currently have only one fibre network (greenfield demand).
