Industry context: South Africa’s connectivity market and emerging models
South Africa’s internet and network services market has grown rapidly because of streaming, remote working, cloud applications and rising device usage. Many users now expect fast, uncapped and reliable connections. However, challenges remain. Infrastructure in some suburbs and rural zones is still weak or expensive to build. Costs of fibre rollout, wireless backhaul and network maintenance stay high. Service quality and reliability are often cited as user pain points.
Regulatory frameworks also affect the market: ISPs must obtain electronic communications network services (ECNS) licences, comply with the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) standards and ensure fair use practices. At the same time, innovative models are gaining ground. These include uncapped fibre packages, fixed-LTE wireless for underserved areas, and symmetric upload/download speeds which support new uses such as video streaming, gaming and cloud-based work. Infinity Connect’s offering aligns with these trends by delivering uncapped and symmetrical plans.
In this climate many providers are also managing their own ASNs, peer at exchange points, and offer direct routing to improve latency and reliability. Infinity Connect’s ASN registration suggests it is positioned to handle network traffic and routing at a higher level rather than just resell last-mile services.
Platforms that offer local support, transparent pricing and flexible terms are becoming more valued by consumers who are dissatisfied with opaque contracts or slow service fixes.
