Is there a site/place where one can check if your area is on the fiber to do list. I cant wait any longer. Currently paying alot for wifi for not so good service. Just recently cancelled my Rain sim. Thats even worse
 
You can go to any of the fibre network operators websites and plug in your address and it will say "planned" or a few other options. Most of them if it says nothing you will need to get people around where you stay to click an "i am interested" button and fill in a form

Double check on Vuma-reach. They took away the highlights of coming soon on their map so just punch in your address as I remember Belhar was covered. It will say that they're coming soon.
 
The bribes and protection money the digging companies have to pay the gangsters are out of this world. Cost benefits and safety vs rewards.

Its sad yes. Our electricity supply was damaged and had to wait for 2 days. Cause the guys were concerned for their safety
 
We received notification letters from vuma reach to start with trenching in Belhar just before lockdown happened. Now municipality is saying vuma reach has to apply for new wayleaves and permits in order to start trenching. I got the information off the FB page Fibre for Belhar

Any feedback yet. They were busy with roadworks for a few months now. I thought that was part of the whole fiber rollout.

Last update on that Fibre for Belhar FB page is that they still negotiating with the municipality
 
I'm in Belhar, using Rain 5g uncapped, depending where you are you should have coverage, old Belhar doesn't have coverage from the looks of things. Mostly the extension areas from the Rain coverage map.

It's an alternative till fibre becomes a reality in Belhar.

Whats the quality like. I was on unlimited 4G for a while. To be honest the best i got was like 350kps. Average was less than 150kps. Im in extension.

what speeds you getting with rain?
 
I'm on the R699 deal which caps it at 30mbs , closest tower to me about less than 1km, sometimes if I do a speed test I get I'm excess of 200mb, again remember this is all subject to tower congestion, I don't think many people in Belhar has taken up 5g as yet so it's fine for now.
