Did you notice that the cost of fibre is going up and the speeds are too, whether you like it not.
Do you use fibre or want to use fibre for your internet?
Is your fibre fast?
Is it reliable?
Is it affordable? If these questions are important to you, you should join our group.

We, the Internet Society of South Africa (ISOC-ZA) was initially formed in 1997 in response to the exclusive telecommunications policy environment. We represented the interests of telecommunications users in national, provincial and local policy discussions, in the press and in any other relevant forum. After the Telkom mono/duopoly ended in 2007, we have continued supporting training initiatives. Until now, we have not been much involved in policy discussions because fierce competition has helped most users get online.

The purpose of ISOC-ZA is to serve the interests of the South African Internet community. In fulfilling this purpose we serve all persons and entities who are in the SA or who are interested or involved in the South African Internet community. ISOC-ZA is broadly inclusive on a regional, linguistic and racial basis and the community whose interests it shall serve is construed as widely as possible.

Now, in 2024, we recognise that with the provision of fibre, we can and will see many monopolies emerge. This will make the internet lives of some South Africans problematic again. Many Fibre Network Operators (FNOs) are not managed with best practices for open access networks, which also results in much pain for users.

So we have created the ISOC-ZA Fibre Forum, where you can air your views, to get support and help us create submissions to policy makers.

Please join us if:
You want to know about the laws and guidelines for fibre operators
You want help with submissions to various industry and governmental bodies
You wish to air your views and share information about your desired or undesired fibre provider
