South Africa’s Fastest Internet Neighbourhoods Revealed for 2025
South Africa’s digital race for faster broadband has a new champion. According to MyBroadband Insights’ latest 2025 report, Randpark Ridge in Johannesburg has emerged as the neighbourhood with the country’s fastest fixed internet speeds, a clear reflection of how fibre connectivity continues to reshape suburban living.
Randpark Ridge Tops the Speed Charts
Between July and September 2025, MyBroadband analysed over 177,000 Wi-Fi tests from users across the country. The findings placed Randpark Ridge firmly in first place, achieving an average download speed of 107 Mbps, upload speed of 70 Mbps, and a lightning-fast latency of just 13 milliseconds.
Residents say the upgrade in local fibre infrastructure has transformed the area’s digital experience, from seamless streaming to stable work-from-home connections.
Following closely were Eldoraigne in Centurion with average speeds of 89 Mbps, and Fourways in Sandton at 85 Mbps, both suburbs known for their growing tech-friendly communities and high data usage.
Pretoria’s Fibre Powerhouses
Pretoria continues to prove itself as one of the most connected regions in South Africa. Pierre van Ryneveld Park ranked fourth nationally with 83 Mbps, while Garsfontein, Moreleta Park, Die Hoewes, and Faerie Glen all landed in the top ten.
The spread of reliable fibre in the capital has been driven by demand from students, professionals, and small businesses, many of whom rely on stable, high-speed internet for hybrid work, e-learning, and digital trade.
Cape Town Cracks the List
The Cape Town City Centre was the only neighbourhood outside Gauteng to feature in the national top ten, taking sixth place with an average download speed of 80 Mbps and upload speed of 82 Mbps.
This strong showing underscores Cape Town’s growing investment in tech infrastructure and its role as a digital hub for the Western Cape.
A Glimpse at South Africa’s Top 10
| Rank | Neighbourhood | Area | Download (Mbps) | Upload (Mbps) | Latency (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Randpark Ridge | Randburg | 107 | 70 | 13 |
| 2 | Eldoraigne | Centurion | 89 | 73 | 20 |
| 3 | Fourways | Sandton | 85 | 56 | 14 |
| 4 | Pierre van Ryneveld Park | Centurion | 83 | 84 | 16 |
| 5 | Weltevredenpark | Roodepoort | 80 | 64 | 11 |
| 6 | Cape Town City Centre | Cape Town | 80 | 83 | 17 |
| 7 | Garsfontein | Pretoria | 75 | 63 | 13 |
| 8 | Moreleta Park | Pretoria | 69 | 56 | 29 |
| 9 | Die Hoewes | Centurion | 68 | 50 | 14 |
| 10 | Faerie Glen | Pretoria | 67 | 49 | 14 |
What It Means for South Africans
The findings reveal a clear pattern: Gauteng remains the heartbeat of South Africa’s broadband evolution, with Johannesburg, Centurion and Pretoria dominating the rankings.
But the growth in Cape Town’s digital performance signals a nationwide trend, one where fibre is becoming a basic utility rather than a luxury. As South Africans continue to work, learn and stream online, broadband quality has become just as critical as electricity or water.
With more providers expanding coverage and competition intensifying, the race for faster internet is far from over, and 2026 might just bring a new leader to the table.
