The latest MyBroadband speed test results show that Vox Telecom and Internet Solutions recorded the highest average ADSL and VDSL speeds in the first half of September 2015.
MyBroadband’s speed test servers make use of Ookla’s platform, and are hosted in Teraco’s vendor-neutral data centres in Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Through NapAfrica, all network operators present at its peering points are provided with a free 1Gbps connection to the MyBroadband speed test platform.
To ensure that only results from broadband connections are used, MyBroadband filters speed tests based on network information from the Internet service providers.
