Stay entertained this summer with the RSAWEB staff’s streaming favourites
The festive season is almost upon us, signalling the end of another year. In 2023, we saw drastic rises in fuel costs limiting our movements yet again, with our least favourite houseguest, loadshedding, demanding a near permanent spot in our households. But there were also loads to celebrate as our beloved Springboks were crowned back-to-back world champions!
As a proudly South African internet service provider, we’re a determined and passionate bunch that won’t let a few setbacks steal our smiles. We’ve chatted with our staff to learn how they stay entertained online and what makes the RSAWEB network such an exceptional streaming source.

Favourite streaming platforms
RSAWEB‘s staff enjoy various streaming platforms, with Netflix and Disney+ topping the popularity poll. Showmax and DStv Stream also made the cut for those who prefer a local flavour. And the age-old favourite, YouTube, sneaked in the backdoor as its video variety could pretty much keep anyone entertained for hours.
Favourite entertainment genres
When you have a group of culturally diverse, multi-generational people, you’re bound to discover a wide spectrum of interests ─ our staff’s genres of choice are no exception.
From the regular favourites, like romantic comedy, action and sci-fi, to true crime, dark comedy and fantasy. A handful of staff members enjoy documentaries, and one chose the unique genre of fiction based on realism.
An interesting phenomenon
You might assume most people prefer watching movies over series, but RSAWEB’s staff beg to differ. Even though half of our staff enjoy both, the other 50% prefer watching only series. What led to this shift in entertainment preference, you’re asking?
We could argue that watching an hour-long episode requires a shorter attention span than a two-hour movie. Yet, following a show over several seasons indicates longer interest and investment. Could it be a generational trend? Only time will tell.
Favourite movies of 2023
The Equalizer 3 (Prime Video)
The Queenstown Kings (Netflix)
