I have added another free tool to the site, a Home Fibre Comparison that ranks the cheapest provider for your network and speed.
The thing that makes fibre confusing is that it is sold in two layers. A fibre network, like Vumatel or Openserve, owns the actual line to your home, and an internet provider then sells you a package over that line. The catch is that the same 100Mbps line costs a different amount on each network, and the cheapest provider on one network is not the cheapest on another. So a simple “who is cheapest for fibre” question does not have a single answer, it depends on the network under your street.
The tool handles that directly. You pick your fibre network and the speed you want, and it ranks the cheapest provider for exactly that combination. If you are not sure which network you have, there is an “All networks” view that shows the cheapest deal on each one side by side, which also makes it clear how much the line under your street shapes the price.
A few things I tried to get right.
It ranks on the ongoing price, not a temporary introductory price, so a deal that is cheap for three months and then jumps up does not unfairly win.
It shows download and upload speed for every plan, because upload matters for video calls, backups and gaming, and some networks are symmetrical while others are not.
It covers Afrihost, MWEB, Webafrica, RSAWEB and Cool Ideas, across Vumatel, Vuma Reach, Openserve, Frogfoot, Octotel and MetroFibre. Not every provider sells on every network, so the list changes with your choice.
One honest note. Cool Ideas charges the same price nationally but does not publish it per network in a way I could fully verify, so I show it only on the networks where its speeds fit and I mark its price as indicative. Always confirm the current price and that your exact address is covered on the provider’s own site before you sign up.
Prices were checked on 2 June 2026.

If you are on fibre, I would love to know your network, your provider and what you pay, and whether the tool lands on the same deal. If I have missed a provider you rate, tell me and I will look at adding it.
