Thread: Telkom Last Mile and FTTH

  1. #1

    Default Telkom Last Mile and FTTH

    OK so what stops any ISP from showing Telkom the middle finger and installing fiber to the home alongside Telkom's copper. Why do we have to wait for local loop unbundeling to be resolved ?

    Cost.

    Plain and simple.

    I'll install FTTH to your house, no problems..

    It will cost R150k to install. (conservative figure), and I'll get back to you on how many children you will have to sell on a monthly baby to cover the costs of the service.

    You can get a fiber line from Neotel and use them as an ISP (they peer with everyone), or if you have enough money - you can peer with DFA directly with whom you can peer with any SA ISP.
