Telkom recently launched a 1TB LTE deal for R999<\/strong><\/a> with no fair use policy or speed limits on a month-to-month agreement.<\/p>\n

The service is offered over Telkom\u2019s 2,300MHz LTE\/LTE-A network which offers average speeds of between 20 and 40Mbps.<\/p>\n

The \u201cjust-under R1,000\u201d price tag is what many South Africans associate with a high-end broadband service, which is no surprise.<\/p>\n

R1,000 is a psychological price barrier, and R999 has therefore become a popular price point for many high-end broadband services.<\/p>\n

When Telkom first launched ADSL in 2002, for example, users paid just under R1,000 per month for a 512kbps service with a 3GB usage limit.<\/p>\n

Since then, the R1,000 price barrier remained a prominent feature of the South African broadband market.<\/p>\n

Today there are numerous high-end broadband products available to South Africans for R999, which include fibre, DSL, LTE, and 5G products.<\/p>\n

These products include Rain\u2019s unlimited 5G service, Supersonic\u2019s 200GB LTE offering, and MTN\u2019s 5G service on a 36-month contract.<\/p>\n

This raises the question: which are the best sub-R1,000 broadband services that are currently available in South Africa?<\/p>\n

The table below provides an overview of the top fibre, DSL, LTE, and 5G products available for R999 or less.<\/p>\n
