Well done to all involved on the amazing achievement of active 400 Gbps peering at #JINX! It's incredible to remember how JINX was launched in 1996 with just four 64kb/s links :)

ISPA's got a new look!
It's 30 years since a small band of forward-thinking ISPs came together on 6 June 1996.
We recently unveiled our new, cleaner, confident & more refined corpID at ZANOG@iWeek2026.
What do you think about ISPA's new logo?

Good news for consumers is that the updated Elec. Communications Amendment Bill has been approved - as TC writes below, it "seeks to manage the relationship between #MNOs & #MVNOs to ensure there are no discriminatory practices..."

It's entirely appropriate that Africa’s first privately-owned subsea cable is a Gigabyte Sponsor of SA's leading internet industry event, ZANOG@iWeek2026. @SEACOM has done more than its fair share to foster the growth of the internet in Africa. Check out: seacom.com
