bitCONNECT and peering: Keeping traffic local
The portfolio also includes Qurtuba Fibre for the Orchards area in Linbro Park, alongside packages on partner last-mile networks such as Openserve, Vumatel, Frogfoot, MetroFibre, Zoom and Evotel.
South Africa’s connectivity market rewards providers that mix access paths and layer security. Load-shedding and long-haul costs make redundancy and on-net resolution attractive, while households and SMEs expect clear SLAs and fast support.
bitCONNECT’s recipe—resold fibre where ducts exist, wireless where they do not, VoIP add-ons and DNS security—fits that profile, and its peering footprint aims to keep traffic local for latency and cost reasons.
