OMG I don't believe what I saw

[Lino]

So today there is Lino driving in Somerset West *Cue lalala music:D"

Then while driving I see some people digging, not thinking much of it, I drive past and what do I see. "Neotel at work" :eek:

These people do exist, I can not believe it, still in shock:confused:

[Devill]

Lol :D

Yeah hope they bring so comp for telescum to your province/town

[Lino]

Well if they are working in Somerset West, then I suppose they must still be working on a Cape Town launch. Come on Neotel dammit!

[fishfly]

good luck with that... those fekers have dug up 80% of the roads here in JHB sandton area and I still haven't seen any promise of fibre access yet :( All I've received is a bad wheel alignment and huge ass holes that I sometimes cannot avoid :(

Its safer to drive on an ungraded dirt road than it is to drive through Sandton these days.

[Lino]

Hey everyone, personally I would rather have a few roads dug up and better internet than nothing and stuck with Telkom.

*PS will try to take picture tomorrow*

You guys should know that the municipalities are the ones not allowing Neotel to retar the roads.

It's the municipalities responsibility to retar the road after Neotel is finished.

[Lino]

Well drove past again today, they have made a lot of progress in the last 24 hours. I also drove past a Tata Bakkie that said "Neotel on the side"

Seems like they are defintley in Somerset West. Will do my best to keep you all informed.

Below are some photos. I apologise for the quality *had to use camera phone and had to scale them so I could up load them*

Not to mention I was driving in traffic when I took them. Hopefully more to come.

Yup. The JRA are supposed to retar the roads within 2 weeks of the lines being laid. However, this is a government company, so...

I must admit so far they have only dug in the side walks nothing in the roads. It will be interesting to see how much cable they lay down in Somerset West

[phenom]

i think that it could well most likely be a transmitter tower, if you spot the location on google maps, it seems to be at the centroid of the residential areas of the basin- the most logical place to build a transmitter tower.

Isn't there a bank next to that caltex garage?

[Swift-wp]

I've seen Neotel dig up pavements in Parow Industria, and Ravensmead. Others have told me that they are digging up in Bellville and in the CBD as well.

[Lino]

Isn't there a bank next to that caltex garage?

No there is not, the banks are quite a distance away from there. Surrounding the Caltex garage, is a car dealership. Few electronic stores etc.

Then it's probably Neotel.

Well it is neotel, "there was a neotel sign where they were digging" :cool:

[Surv0]

scumerset west is too far from cpt central... im not convinced

[Lino]

scumerset west is too far from cpt central... im not convinced

Think about it like this, if they are doing work in a small town. Then they MUST be doing it in CBD. Oh btw its spelt Somerset

[CyberFish]

Wasnt Neotel meant to be live nation-wide like last year already?

[ld13]

When you see them again, tell them to move it already and get themselves to Gordons Bay asap! :cool:

I'll shout it when I drive past them tomorrow:D. Damn I wish I could have spoken to the guy in the bakkie:cool:

[wcoetzee]

huge ass holes that I sometimes cannot avoid :( :eek::sick::D

[gdiza]

I want Neotel! :D

[wcoetzee]

[dablakmark8]

[Lino]

I think this is so awesome, Neotel are finally moving forward

[phenom]

GB is 6k away, i think i've hear somewhere that the coverage is 15km, so it might go, but shout anyway, we can get double the coverage, double the speed

Have you seen them digging yet? Oh did you get my pm?

Ok might be dumb questiom but if they are laying down cables, I presume they must be copper right. Are these going to be for broadband or?????????

I would think it would be fibre?

[Lino]

I would think it would be fibre?

That could also be an option, oh I wish we had more information on them. Oh well in the meantime I'll try to find out what I can.

[Syndyre]

I would think it would be fibre?

You'd hope so. ;)

[pierrehugo]

I am def going to try and convince people to use neotel bc it they need the support, only prob is that if it becomes a sh*t service I am going to have a lot of P*SS*D fwends

[phenom]

only question now is: when will they launch?
