Price comparison

By Rudolf Pretorius

1 July 2022

As we enter the latter stages of 2022 everyone is feeling the impact of COVID, High Fuel Prices and NO POWER from ESKOM. In these times we had to go and review our strategies and pricing to our end clients also, but while doing this exercise we saw with a big surprise that there is only a hand full of competitive Fibre providers out there. In the table below you will see the options of Fibre Providers and their package prices.

With the above table being as it is, we can see that Crisp Fibre is in the middle of the group with our pricing structure. We will be looking at pricing adjustments later in the year to more accommodate the current struggle in South Africa.
