Many South African consumers are starting to enjoy broadband speeds in excess of 50Mbps, with Telkom and Vodacom recording speeds higher than 60Mbps on their commercial LTE networks.<\/p>\n

According to the latest MyBroadband Speed Test results, Telkom recorded the highest residential broadband speed at 71.6Mbps, with Vodacom coming in at 61.5Mbps.<\/p>\n

The top 10 broadband speed test results include three Telkom LTE results and seven Vodacom LTE results.<\/p>\n

This is the first time Vodacom features prominently in the top 10 broadband speed test results, which is thanks to Vodacom’s LTE network upgrades.<\/p>\n

Vodacom is aggressively growing its LTE footprint, and is also replacing its current 2 x 5MHz LTE spectrum with 2 x 10MHz. This makes far higher peak LTE speeds possible.<\/p>\n

The following table provides an overview of the top 10 speed tests performed on the MyBroadband platform over the last month.<\/p>\n
