The MyBroadband Q3 2017 Broadband Survey shows that fibre subscribers are much happier with their service than ADSL and VDSL customers.<\/p>\n

The survey was completed by 5,751 South African broadband subscribers. These users were typically IT professionals and tech-savvy individuals.<\/p>\n

The users rated the value for money, network quality, and billing and support of their service.<\/p>\n

The top-rated fixed-broadband service was SEACOM fibre, followed by Frogfoot fibre, and Rain\u2019s LTE-A service.<\/p>\n

Rain is the only non-fibre service in the top 10, and shows a high customer satisfaction rating for a wireless broadband offering.<\/p>\n

The survey results clearly show that fibre subscribers are much happier with their services compared to DSL and wireless subscribers \u2013 which is expected.<\/p>\n

Fibre offers faster speeds than DSL, and provides better value-for-money in terms of price per Mbps.<\/p>\n

The table below provides an overview of the results (scores out of 10). Services which did not receive enough responses in the survey are not listed.<\/p>\n
