The Best Vodacom Fiber Deals, Packages, and Their Prices in 2020

Vodacom Fiber deals are hugely popular in South Africa and over 30 African countries, with Vodacom being one of the continent’s biggest telecommunications companies. Vodacom Fiber offers high-speed broadband connectivity with a speed limit of 4Mbps – 100Mbps. There is a wide range of options for customers to choose from as Vodacom typically partners with other networks to provide fiber services to interested customers. Vodacom acts as an internet service provider and hosts a range of networks on its platform. These networks include Vumatel and Open Serve/Telkom. However, the type of package(s) you qualify for depends on your residential area and the type of fiber coverage available there.

List of Available Vodacom Fiber Deals

If you are a customer considering Vodacom as a real option for your fiber needs, the list below details the available Vodacom Fiber packages. As stated earlier, Vodacom acts as an internet service provider and partners with other networks to ensure you have access to the internet. The available network and fiber packages will depend on the area you wish to use the fiber network. We have split this list into the different providers along with their speed and prices.

Fiber Deals with Open Serve

Fiber Deals with Vuma
