    How long does it take for fiber to be up after digging the trenches?

    I am seeing fiber tunnels being dug out in my street. I am very happy to be getting fiber in my area after my 3year struggle with cellc/mtn lte. I am now wondering how long it usually takes? How long did you wait after the installation to get connected? It is done by vuma I believe. Thanks
