Why Fibre Prices in South Africa Are Stuck

Mobile data is cheaper than ever, but fibre prices havent budged. Heres why.

Once Vumatel lays fibre in your area, theyre the only game in town.

The Bottom Line

Fibre remains expensive because infrastructure is fragmented and last-mile monopolies persist.
