Product structure: Fibre and wireless plans support diverse user needs
Net Hog provides symmetrical fibre packages that enable seamless streaming, remote work, and cloud access. These fibre services come with uncapped data and high reliability. For areas where fibre cannot be deployed, the company offers fixed wireless plans that extend internet access using local base stations. These packages also support optional telephone add-ons using VOIP. Prices start at approximately R250, making them accessible for small businesses and households. Support is available during weekday office hours, and service continuity is prioritized in all deployments.
Market position: Regional ISPs adapt through hybrid infrastructure
In South Africa’s broadband sector, smaller ISPs must overcome infrastructure gaps, high rollout costs, and limited national peering. Net Hog addresses these barriers by deploying hybrid networks that use both fibre and wireless to reach underserved areas. The use of symmetrical plans aligns with global trends where upload speed is becoming as critical as download speed. The company operates under ASN AS328164 and peers at NAPAfrica in Johannesburg, which helps improve traffic efficiency and reduce latency across the network.
