Fibre to the home (FTTH), is the installation and use of optical fibre from a central point directly to individual buildings such as residences, apartment buildings and businesses to provide unprecedented high-speed Internet access. The number of houses in South Africa passed by fibre has grown from 439,000 in 2017 to 933,000 by March 2018 - equivalent to 112% year on year growth according to a report from the FTTH Council.
