Recent media reports this week detailed issues affecting internet performance in South Africa.

These issues are believed to have impacted on two cable systems which impeded on internet performance to- and from South Africa.

The chances of two International cables systems being down at the same time is very rare. Both cables systems are very popular with ISP’s as they are more competitively priced than some of the other cables systems and the performance is as good, if not better than the alternatives.

Network Platforms is running a stable network across five International undersea cables and redundant domestic paths.

We breakout from Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg with capacity on SAT3, EASSY, WACS, SAFE and Seacom.

Network Platforms has built a network that ensures business continuity and disaster recovery for your connectivity and Cloud services in multiple data centres across RSA, we can ensure your business is not affected.

Network Platforms has gone a step further… this service level will be available on our ADSL/VDSL/FTTH network!

Our new ADSL/VDSL/FTTH product range will be launched next week and yes, it too will have the benefits of full international redundancy with no shaping or contention on our network!
