We continue to develop our global presence and improve the performance of our network.
For that reason we have launched a point of presence in South Africa’s largest city, Johannesburg, with a population of 5 million. Now our CDN is available on every continent but Antarctica.
Excellent CDN performance in Africa
There are 525 million people connected to the Internet in Africa, which is about 12 % of all users of the World Wide Web.
Internet penetration in South Africa is 56 %, and it continues to grow.
Want to deliver games, videos, live broadcasts, or any heavy entertainment content to millions of online users in Africa faster than the competition?
Connect our superfast CDN and deliver with a minimum delay of 30 ms.
