OECD report spells disaster for SA

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 31 May 2009

A recent Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) report clearly indicates that South Africa is falling behind OECD countries in terms of broadband penetration and broadband service quality. This is despite the progress SA has made in creating a more broadband friendly environment.

Broadband penetration rates…

SA’s broadband penetration rate has increased to 2.81 in 2008 from an ultra low 1.5 in 2007. This is however still far below the average broadband penetration rate of 22.6 as per the December 2008 OECD Broadband Statistics and 18.8 in 2007.

In other words, only about  3 out of every 100 people are subscribed to broadband services in South Africa.
