MyBroadband\u2019s latest broadband survey shows that Axxess, Vox Telecom, and Cybersmart are the top Internet service providers in South Africa.<\/p>\n

The survey was completed by 5,094 South African broadband subscribers. These subscribers were typically IT professionals and other tech-savvy individuals.<\/p>\n

Subscribers rated their service provider on value for money, network quality, and billing and support.<\/p>\n

The survey tested users\u2019 opinions of their ISP, and asked them how likely they were to recommend their ISP to family and friends.<\/p>\n

The results showed that Axxess was the top-rated ADSL ISP, with a strong performance in all categories.<\/p>\n

The table below provides an overview of the results of the survey (scores out of 10). Mobile ISPs Afrihost and MWEB are also included.<\/p>\n
