I see that DFA has a fibre "backbone" in Rustenburg. How will I get fibre to my home about 200m away from the current live connection?
Which ISP operate on their infrastructure?
Snowball's chance but is there any interest in "Sign Up" for FTTH in Allen's Nek area? Van Vuuren St, etc
Or does anyone know of SPs rolling out in this area?

Ok Secunda people,

Hi there
So there's quite a bit of activity happening in Joburg areas but Pretoria seems to be getting a lot less love, which needs to change.
I'm trying to gauge what the options are in terms of fibre for Pretoria in general and Erasmia (+Laudium/Claudius) specifically. Our suburb Erasmia...
