Megs — fibre network and wholesale connectivity provider in South Africa
Megs sells to internet service providers rather than to end users, offering wholesale IP transit, fibre network design, installation and splicing, microwave backhaul, RF planning and the back-end systems an ISP needs to operate: AAA and Radius, L2TP and PPPoE, traffic shaping, mail and spam filtering and VoIP deployment. Distributed satellite and video, IPTV, streaming and CCTV round out an unusually infrastructure-heavy line. The company is an ISPA member.

This is the layer beneath the ISPs
Read the service list and the customer becomes obvious. AAA and Radius, L2TP and PPPoE, traffic shaping and wholesale IP transit are not things a business buys for its office; they are the machinery an internet service provider runs to authenticate subscribers and bill them. Megs sells that machinery, plus the physical build work of fibre design and splicing and microwave backhaul. If you are starting or running a small ISP, this is a supplier worth knowing, because it can provide the transit, build the network and hand over the operational back end. If you are a business looking for a line into your office, you want one of Megs’ customers rather than Megs. The IPTV, satellite and CCTV lines suggest work with estates and complexes where connectivity and entertainment are delivered together. Retail options are in the fibre provider directory.
Who Megs is a fit for

Can a normal business buy internet from Megs?
The offering is aimed at internet service providers and operators, covering wholesale transit, network build and ISP back-end systems. A business buying a line for its office should approach a retail ISP instead.
What is wholesale IP transit?
It is bulk internet capacity sold to an operator who then resells it to their own customers, rather than a connection sold to an end user. It is priced by committed capacity and contract term.
What ISP back-end services does Megs provide?
The site lists AAA and Radius for subscriber authentication, L2TP and PPPoE for session handling, traffic shaping, mail and spam filtering, routing and VoIP deployment. Those are the operational systems an ISP runs behind the scenes.
Does Megs do physical fibre work?
Yes. Fibre network design, installation and splicing are named services, along with microwave backhaul, RF planning and antenna design. That covers both the build and the radio side of a network.
Is Megs an ISPA member?
Yes, the company states ISPA membership and displays the logo. No ICASA licence reference is published.
What does it cost?
Nothing is published, and a rate card would not be meaningful for wholesale work. Costs turn on committed capacity, routes and the scope of any build. Ask for once-off build and recurring charges as separate figures.
