I'm in the Upper Highway area and they are putting in fibre optic all the way from Kloof to Hillcrest. Going pretty quickly ... hope they launch with coverage up here soon. JayN

How long do you exactly think it takes to roll out a national telecoms network??? iBurst has been at it for over 5 years and their coverage is still average. Vodacom and MTN took a long time to grow beyond a handful of towers in the major areas and they are both still busy rolling out their 3G networks.... So what are you exactly expecting from Neotel that is going to be different?

Lol. I don't think that we will be getting fibre to the home anytime soon. I heard that the modems cost massive amounts of $$
A decently priced 4 mb/s or 8 mb/s ADSL service over copper would be really cool for now. The ADSL modems are really cheap and most of them are compatible with ADSL2 and so should be relatively future proof.

@ ambo: It is not so much the time it is going to take to roll out their network, it's the lack of a date.
By date I don't mean 'by the 6 august or your money back', I am thinking more like a map with with some broader dates e.g. august, late august, early september
For now in their FAQ they ask themselves
1. Which areas are the initial areas for the launch?
Answer: Our consumer service will initially be available in selected areas of Gauteng but will gradually expand to major metropolitan areas such Cape Town and Durban. Eventually, our network will expand to reach more than 80% of the country's population.
2. When will services be available in my area?
Answer: Our consumer services are currently being launched in selected suburbs of Johannesburg and Pretoria. We will be adding more areas to the service over the coming months which will include Durban and Cape Town. Eventually, our network will expand to reach more than 80% of the country's population.
and eventually I will grow old and die
It's not that I am angry, but just dissapointed, I got caught up in the hype and I am just out of range in Lynnwood PTA, and no one can give me any clue to when it might be.
