MWEB, a South African ISP, shares survey findings from over 40,000 digitally active South Africans on how fibre connectivity is shaping healthcare access. Key findings: 73% use the internet to research symptoms, 29% have consulted a medical professional online, 21% have used online mental health services, and 56% of smartwatch owners use fibre. The piece argues that reliable connectivity enables telemedicine, wearable health monitoring, and preventive medicine, particularly in a country where physical healthcare access is uneven.
