The companies enter a network partnership to initiate the next chapter of their African connectivity venture.

The company aims to extend its high-speed fibre footprint to remote towns across SA.

The company says some ISPs it allowed to peer on a free and open basis were not providing anything in return.

The subsea cable operator lights up a 1TB fibre line connecting Johannesburg and Cape Town, with East London being the next destination.

The company launches a point of presence in the city to provide high-speed Internet.

The submarine cable operator upgrades its systems’ lit capacity from 1.5 terabytes today to 3 terabytes by the end of the year.

A move away from primary urban centres to rural areas presents clear potential, says Byron Clatterbuck, CEO at SEACOM.

Through supplier Seacom, STC is one of the first in SA to invest in the equipment and training needed to deploy IPv6. 

The Pan-African telecoms company adds eight new points of presence across the continent. 

Customers should look beyond the product to the true nature of the ISP, and the service and support that underpins it, says Grant Parker, GM, SEACOM Business South Africa.

Your number one priority is to find an ISP that works with you to enable your business's growth, instead of limiting it, says Grant Parker, GM of SEACOM Business SA.

No technology can take the place of simple training and education, and these must be the basis of any solid cyber security strategy, says Byron Clatterbuck, CEO at SEACOM.
