Just wondering if anyone stays in or around Hazel Park in Germiston. Was driving around on the weekend and there was a massive line of guys digging trenches and laying fibre in Beacon Road. Asked the guys there but they wouldn't say much. Had a look on every website I can think of and no mention of it as yet, so just wondering if anybody has any info that I might not. Its a residential area so leads me to think it might (finally....) be an FTTH rollout of some kind.

Thanks !

I'm not sure about Germiston but Highway Gardens is being trenched.

That's just down the road from you - so to speak.

I noticed they are working their way up slowly from Alberton up into Wadeville and slowly into Germiston. Guess I will just have to continue my rain dances and begging and praying :p
