Cosmiq Broadband sells one network at every price point, from prepaid fibre to dedicated lines
Many South African fibre internet providers sell service on a line that a separate network operator owns. Cosmiq is the other kind: it builds and routes its own, so the company that sells the package also runs the fibre to the house, and its support staff can see the network directly. The home offer is easy to compare: every speed is symmetrical, uncapped and month-to-month, and the 200 Mbps package at R899 a month including VAT gives the same speed up as down, which matters for cloud backups and video calls. The breadth is unusual for a company registered in 2023, running from R250 prepaid township fibre to a R9,850 dedicated line, and voice from R69 an extension rides on the same connection. Three things to check before you sign: whether your exact address is on the network (coverage is selected suburbs and estates, and business fibre is on-net buildings only), the activation or install fee for home fibre, which is quoted rather than published, and the term, because the MTN Tarana wireless and the dedicated fibre lines carry 12 and 24-month minimums while home fibre does not.
Who Cosmiq Broadband is a fit for
- Households in Cosmiq-covered Durban and Gauteng suburbs that want symmetrical uncapped fibre without a fixed-term contract.
- Small businesses that want internet and a hosted PBX from one company on one invoice, with per-second call billing.
- Sites without fibre, such as farms, lodges or new offices, that need fixed wireless or LEO satellite as the main line or as a backup.

Is there a contract on Cosmiq fibre?
Not for home fibre or Connecta prepaid fibre: both run month to month, and prepaid needs no notice to stop. MTN Tarana fixed wireless has a 12-month minimum, and Premium Fibre, True DIA and satellite are on 24-month terms.
Where does Cosmiq Broadband have fibre?
In selected suburbs and estates around Durban and in Gauteng, including Randfontein on the West Rand, with more homes being built. Business fibre at the lower prices is limited to buildings already connected to its network. Run your exact address through its coverage checker or ask for a quote.
Does Cosmiq Broadband own its network?
It says so: it runs its own autonomous system, AS329391, and installs fibre with its own field team. Its fixed-wireless range also includes a service on the MTN Tarana network, which is MTN’s radio platform rather than Cosmiq’s.
Can I get a business phone system from Cosmiq?
Yes. Cosmiq Voice offers a hosted PBX at R69 per extension and SIP trunks at R45 per channel a month ex VAT, free number porting and per-second billing. It works best on a Cosmiq line; on another provider’s connection, ask whether your line is suitable first.
Is Cosmiq Broadband ICASA licensed?
Its website states class ECNS and ECS licences but does not publish the licence numbers or certificates. If licensing matters for your procurement, ask Cosmiq for the certificate numbers and check them on the ICASA register.
How does Cosmiq Broadband compare with other fibre providers?
Its strengths are symmetrical home speeds, no contract and one company owning the network and the support; the limits are a coverage area made of selected suburbs and estates, and a short track record. For scored providers side by side, see the fibre comparison.
