MyBroadband is South Africa's largest technology news website which was started in 2003 as a consumer advocacy forum to address broadband problems which existed in the country at the time.

At the time, social media platforms - such as Facebook and Twitter - were not available and the MyBroadband Forum allowed South Africans to share information online.

One of the main objectives of the MyBroadband Forum was to examine and discuss the South African broadband landscape, focusing on ADSL connections - which dominated the country and were run by the state-controlled monopoly Telkom at the time.

[citation needed] It covers breaking news in the industry, unpacks technical and relevant ICT topics, and regularly conducts research into local market trends.

[6] Topics covered include broadband (DSL, Fibre, Mobile/Cellular, Satellite), telecommunications, ICT business, smartphones, software, ecommerce, cloud, IoT, banking and fintech, security, gaming, hardware, broadcasting, and blockchain/cryptocurrency.

MyBroadband offers a speed test web service that provides a free analysis on Internet performance metrics, such as connection data rate and latency.

The MyBroadband Speed Test service is viewed as an authoritative metric in the South African IT industry and its research is used by companies such as MTN and Vodacom for their "best mobile network" brand claims and advertising campaigns.
