octotel

I'm currently in Milnerton on a 100/50 with Afrihost/Openserve and its been the best internet experience of my life. Literally no problems whatsoever. I might be moving back to Blouberg side. When I lived there last year I was on Octotel 100/25 with Webafrica and Afrihost. I changed ISP's...

Octotel explains changes to fibre-to-the-home products Octotel informed Internet service providers in July that it would introduce significant changes to its wholesale fibre-to-the-home product portfolio. It will be completely restructuring the wholesale costs and available line speeds on its...

Thought this was worth sharing, doesn't seem to be on the forum yet. Octotel are making big changes to their line speed profiles and prices from September. This will impact the cost all ISPs will be charging for services over Octotel and the speeds available for Octotel users going forward from...

I understand that fibre network providers (Frogfoot, Octotel, SADV, etc) are still running during this lockdown time but does anyone know if their project managers are still working?

I am based in Parklands with Seacom internet. I have a 100/25Mbps line and for the last 9 months i have had lovely internet. This evening however I found myself with 5% packet loss and unable to get even 10Mbps download. Traceroute shows that the packet loss is on hop 1 from my router, so either...

It's been really crazy october. I started a petition for fibre at the beginning of this month to get people to vouch for fibre in our area. With the help of our community-based whatsapp and facebook groups, I managed to gather over 295 responses from the petition within to 2 weeks which was...

Octotel to expand network beyond Cape Town Octotel plans to expand its fibre network beyond Cape Town from 2020 onwards, MD Rob Gilmour told MyBroadband. Gilmour stated that until now, Octotel has only focused on Cape Town for its network rollout.

So, Here I am again. Trying to get some answers out of the 10's of fiber providers. SADV being the worst and the biggest liars ever, Last year at a community meeting for the area SADV promised that by end of March 2019 fiber trenching would have started in the area. Its not almost a year later...

We are a small estate in the Western Cape and we own all infrastructure within the estate. Telkom has installed their lines in our communications infrastructure first as we needed access to landlines and ADSL. Now that Octotel and Frogfoot fibre has finally arrived, they are not willing to...

So Openserve went live on 24 December 2018. I placed my order with SuperSonic on 25 December 2018. SuperSonic called me on 27 December 2018 to confirm my order and Tell me I don't have coverage :rolleyes: so when I told him check Openserve website coverage confirmed and account created and moved...

I had pre-ordered fibre internet with eNetworks t/a @goturbo as they are offering an attractive deal, they started debiting from my account despite Muizenberg area not having any fibre infrastructure installed. Their phones always go unanswered, I finally managed to get hold of their accounts...

Hi ladies and gents in Hagley / Summerville Kuilsriver CPT, can you please pop over to Octotel's website, hit the coverage map and show interest. Got feedback from Octotel representative a few hours ago: "We do not require any specific number of sign ups in order to consider an area for...

So my internet goes down and with the help of my ISP we trace the fault back to Octotel. A simple line reset is required, but I am advised by my ISP that they can't do anything about it now as it is after 17:00 "and Octotel won't answer their phones after 17:00". The only thing to be done is for...

Hi guys Just wondering what router they give you? Do you also have a Ubiquiti Unifi AP? I'm keen to hear your experiences pre and post Ubiquiti. Trying to determine if I really will need one.

Hi Guys So does anyone have any inside info on when this area will go live? According to the Octotel Website, it should be within October. According to the the lady i spoke to on the phone, by end of October. i can see the Fibre installation into my complex and to the node within the...

Hi all, before I got my fibre I found it quite tricky to find the information I wanted about the process, speeds, etc on getting Octotel fibre, specifically the gigabit package. Now that I have it, I want to share the information with the forum just in case there are any others like me out there...

Hi all, Just to let you know. There WAS (not sure if there still is because I'm back online) a cable break in the Vredehoek area. At about 10:30 I called and according to RSAWEB "City Workers" damaged a fibre cable - Octotel were enroute to repair the cable. At 12:35 I came online...
