WonderNet is a South African internet service provider (ISP) that delivers high-speed, reliable and affordable internet to homes and businesses. In an effort to maximise our reach throughout the country, we have formed partnerships with local fibre network operators (FNOs) to offer WonderNet packages to more homes and businesses. In addition, our ownership structure allows us to offer better internet.
WonderNet is owned by SEACOM – one of Africa’s top information and communications technology (ICT) companies with an expansive network of subsea cables, landlines and fibre connections. This ownership structure holds numerous benefits for WonderNet and our customers in South Africa.
SEACOM has an award-winning network of fibre connections
Many people may know SEACOM as the subsea cable company, but it also owns an award-winning network of fibre optic cables. As a subsidiary, WonderNet has direct access to this nationwide network and can deliver super-fast internet to customers at speeds of up to 1Gbps. What’s more, this connectivity through SEACOM’s network comes with a guaranteed 99% uptime.
SEACOM makes use of a symmetrical networking model, which means that every customer gets an uncontended fibre optic connection directly to the mainline and data centre. This model cuts out unnecessary proxies, tunnels and middleware, which all contribute to losses in internet speed. It also improves the reliability of services and makes it easier to track issues and fix them quickly.
Taking advantage of SEACOM’s expertise
Although WonderNet is a relatively new company, we can still take advantage of the many years of experience that SEACOM has in the business. The support systems that have been tried and tested, as well as the expert teams of engineers at SEACOM can be tapped into by WonderNet. This bolsters our customer service and allows us to offer superior connectivity.
Falling under the ownership structure of a major ICT company has a number of advantages for WonderNet. Better internet connectivity speeds, improved reliability, faster tracking of network issues and a wealth of experience are some of the ways in which WonderNet and our customers benefit from SEACOM.
