Our verdict on each
Webafrica
Webafrica suits South African households wanting rolling uncapped fibre with nothing to pay for setup. Entry pricing starts at ZAR 319 a month, contract terms run 1 month, and the strongest plans in the reference range reach 1,000 Mbps with Fully insured Free-to-Use router included.
Zzoomm
Zzoomm suits households already inside its full-fibre build that want a quick upgrade and can live with the jump at renewal. Entry pricing starts at £20 a month, while post-term pricing runs £32 to £70, so the second bill is the figure to weigh before signing.

Pros and cons
Webafrica
Pros
- Entry price of ZAR 319 puts Webafrica near the front of our price ranking.
- The setup fee of ZAR 0 leaves nothing to budget for installation.
- Contract lengths of 1-month mean every plan rolls month to month, so nothing is locked in.
Cons
- Service covers ZA only, so it is not an option outside South Africa.
- Cancelling early carries R999 termination fee on cancellation, which takes the saving out of leaving.
- Abissnet runs on fttp alone, while Webafrica's fttp, fwa and 5G mix makes the top speed at an address depend on the access type that reaches it.
Zzoomm
Pros
- Entry pricing of £20 a month with £0 setup keeps the first bill small.
- Free WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router included is part of the package rather than a separate purchase.
- Upload matches download at 2,300 Mbps, so heavy uploads are not the bottleneck.
Cons
- Renewal pricing is the weak point, with post-term monthly cost at £32 to £70 against a £20 entry price.
- Coverage rests on a build of 600,000 premises, so any address outside that footprint cannot order.
- The line is fttp alone, whereas Astound lists cable and fttp, so homes that want cable have fewer options here.
Who each suits
Webafrica
Who it suits
- South African households wanting uncapped fibre on rolling monthly terms
- Renters and short-stay households avoiding an installation charge
- Shared homes needing matched download and upload speeds for calls and backups
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers wanting a single dedicated fibre line: Abissnet runs on fttp only.
- Homes where only fixed wireless or satellite reaches: Earthlink covers fttp, 5G and satellite.
- Addresses fibre has not reached: Astound pairs cable and fttp, so cable is an option.
Zzoomm
Who it suits
- Households inside Zzoomm's full-fibre build that want 2,300 Mbps in both directions.
- People who would rather not buy hardware, since Free WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router included comes as standard.
- Anyone who needs a static IP, plus help by email, chat and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants cable alongside full fibre should look at Astound, which lists cable and fttp.
- Readers chasing the highest headline download should look at Abissnet, which reaches 10,000 Mbps.
- Houses outside GB can rule Zzoomm out; EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite as a different mix.

Questions about each
Webafrica
How much does Webafrica broadband cost per month?+
Plans start at ZAR 319 per month on Web Connect, the entry plan. MetroFibre Nexus sits above that figure, and Frogfoot Peak pairs the highest speeds with the highest monthly figure. All are billed month to month and uncapped, so the figure you join on keeps running.
Is there a contract to sign?+
Contract lengths are listed as 1 month, so plans here run rolling rather than tying you in for a fixed term. Cancelling early has a price attached, since the cancellation terms apply R999 termination fee on cancellation when you cancel a service, which is worth reading before switching.
Zzoomm
What does Zzoomm broadband cost at the start?+
The entry plan starts at £20 a month, with faster full-fibre plans listed above it on the same network and the same term length. Setup costs £0, so there is no activation charge to add to the first bill.
Which contract lengths can I choose?+
Terms come in 1, 12 and 24 month lengths, so a shorter commitment is available for anyone who does not want a long tie. The trade-off is the exit terms, since leaving before the minimum period is over brings a charge for early exit.
