Our Story

It started as a spreadsheet

Fibre Tiger was started in December 2016 by Jacques du Rand, in a Cape Town complex that had just been lit up by Openserve. Like most South Africans at the time, he was frustrated trying to compare fibre packages. Every ISP's site looked different, every "deal" had asterisks, and nobody could just tell you which package was actually best for your line.

So he did what any stubborn ex-search engineer would do: dumped the price spreadsheets he'd been collecting online, added a filter or two, and pointed friends at it. That spreadsheet (minus the spreadsheet) is still the heart of what we do.

Nearly a decade later Fibre Tiger covers uncapped fibre, LTE, 5G and WiFi packages across every major South African network and ISP. Independent. Team is small, deliberately. Mission hasn't changed.

↳ You'll sometimes see us written as "FibreTiger", "FiberTiger" or "Fiber Tiger". Same site, all good. Officially though it's Fibre Tiger.

The Team

The people behind Fibre Tiger

Jacques du Rand

Founder & Editor

South African builder, ex-search engineer, and the person typing on the other end of info@fibretiger.co.za. Spent many years as Head of Search at PriceCheck.co.za (South Africa's largest price comparison site). That's roughly where the "let's just compare the things properly" instinct comes from.

Founded Fibre Tiger in 2016 after one too many hours squinting at ISP pricing pages. Writes most of what you read here.

Active on the MyBroadband Forum (handle rawoke) since 2009. That's 17 years of arguing about South African ISPs, fibre rollouts and broadband infrastructure with the country's biggest broadband community.

Personal ISP & network history · updated 2026

I'm not just writing about fibre — I've been living on it for 7+ years. My line runs over Openserve (B13000XXXX) at home, and I've cycled through most of the major ISPs myself in roughly this order before landing on Afrihost (A09172XXX) about a year ago.
