TooMuchWifi was started in 2016 with the aim of providing more affordable internet connectivity to aspirational communities within South Africa. By providing fast, reliable and affordable internet connectivity, we can connect communities and businesses, facilitate access to information and education, and enable people to work and communicate effectively- no matter where they are in the world. "As a nation, we must ensure that everyone has equal access to the benefits of the internet because without connectivity, people fall behind and the digital divide becomes an economic divide." – Tauriq Brown, TooMuchWifi CEO
