Symmetrical wireless and a published price list
Two things separate Mdaswifi from most small wireless operators. The first is that every package is priced in public, down to prepaid bundles and connection fees, which means you can compare before you talk to anyone. The second is that the wireless packages are symmetrical, so a R349 line gives 5Mbps up as well as down. That matters more than the headline number for anyone on video calls, uploading files or running a card machine, and it is a genuinely better shape than an asymmetric consumer package at a similar price. The fibre side is resold over Openserve rather than owned, so a fibre fault sits with Openserve and Mdaswifi manages the ticket. Ask which product serves your address before comparing the two price lists. More options are in the wireless provider directory.

Because Mdaswifi publishes its rate card, the useful question is which product reaches your address rather than what it costs. Say whether the site is a home or a business, how many people share the line, whether you need the upload speed, and whether prepaid or monthly billing suits you better.

What does Mdaswifi charge for wireless internet?
Wireless starts at R349 per month for a 5Mbps symmetrical line, R499 for 10Mbps and R699 for 20Mbps. Higher speeds are quoted on request. Those are the company’s own published figures.
Is the wireless service the same speed up and down?
Yes. The published wireless packages are symmetrical, so the 10Mbps package gives 10Mbps in both directions. That is a meaningful difference for video calls and uploads compared with an asymmetric line at a similar price.
Does Mdaswifi sell fibre as well?
Yes, resold over the Openserve network. Prices start at R345 for 20/10Mbps and run to R1,699 for 500/250Mbps. Because the fibre is not Mdaswifi’s own network, a physical fault is repaired by Openserve.
Can I buy internet without a monthly contract?
Prepaid fibre is available, with bundles from R105 to R749 and connection fees between R215 and R505. That suits a household or small business that would rather not commit to a monthly debit order.
Is Mdaswifi a WAPA member?
Yes. The site states membership of the Wireless Access Providers’ Association, which is the industry body for fixed wireless operators in South Africa. No ICASA licence reference is published.
Why is the Google rating 3.6?
Forty-one reviewers give a mixed picture, which is typical for a wireless network where coverage varies by address. One reviewer describes revising a low rating upward after management resolved the fault. WhichVoIP does not remove genuine negative reviews. Read a recent sample before deciding.
