Vodacom sees surge in traffic

DURBAN – 
Vodacom said yesterday that its data traffic has surged by 40 percent following the implementation of the lockdown regulations in South Africa, boosted by the increased demand from people working from home. 
The country’s largest mobile operator said it has noted increased traffic across its operations driven by increased working from home initiatives and entertainment. 
“Following the implementation of lock down regulations in South Africa we noted a surge in data traffic on the network of up to 40 percent in comparison to pre-lock down implementation due to increased traffic as people work and entertain from home, but also due to zero-rating certain education, government and health sites to assist during the crisis,” the group said.
