Telkom's broadband business has been undergoing a major overhaul in recent years, after several years of revenue declines from wholesale division Openserve. Openserve revenue still declined marginally by 0.4% to R13.4 billion ($844 million) according to the group's results for the year ended March 31, 2022. But it has been actively migrating customers from old systems to next-generation tech, with the main focus on decommissioning its legacy copper network and switching customers from ADSL to LTE or fiber options. One of the major issues with copper-based Internet products in South Africa is the high prevalence of copper cable theft which is a huge expense for the service provider to replace and leaves users with gaps in their service when lines are stolen. Telkom's overall fixed broadband subscribers dropped 3.6% YoY, despite making gains in the fiber space – increasing homes passed with fiber by 52.7% and homes connected to fiber by 38.4% during the year.
