South African fibre network operator Frogfoot is considering a potential international expansion and will increase its fibre-to-the-home rollouts in densely populated areas in 2023.Of these homes, 135,000 are using its network, making it the third-largest fibre operator in South Africa in terms of homes connected.
Chorley explained that several European countries still had a relatively low density for fibre usage. In the broader industry, Chorley expects different bundling and effective price drops in high-density areas in 2023, purely because of the improved build-to-cost ratio. Several FNOs — including Frogfoot — previously said their backup systems were sufficient to continue supporting FTTH connectivity up to stage 6 load-shedding.
