I think they installed fibre in the complex on the corner of Paul and Odendaal recently, it's just up the road from me. It just looks like they focus on complexes and ignore the houses
I guess one can only hope that once fibre starts appearing, it'll continue to roll out to everyone...

Hi Pinball Wizard.

Any news yet for Beyers Park?

SADV come and started the installation at my house. The next day I was told sorry your area isn't live and they came and took the ONT device back??????

I bumped into of the of the Fibre guys working at one of the big cabinets, he says my street is live. He says he has no idea why they didn't connect me as there are lots of houses in the area that are connected already.

Thx

I live in Beyers Park and I have been "live" for just over two weeks after TT Connect came and installed the cables and did the splicing.

However I am still not connected!!

I applied through VOX but nothing happened. After about 3 weeks of waiting they phoned me and told me it would take another 2 to 4 weeks. When I asked the reason the response was : "I cannot give you a reason". I cancelled.

I contacted Fred who undertook to have me connected within 24 hours. They gave me a router and I was told it would be "plug and play". I did plug and I am still praying.

I have not been given any clear explanation why I am still not connected. It has been three days.

I saw some guys working on the cables yesterday and they informed me that they were working for SADV and were doing some fault finding. They estimated another week or two.

In conclusion I believe that atm there is no fiber internet in Beyers Park.

If I am wrong please anyone who is connected tell us...

Yeah my brother is in Beyers and also told me SADV was prepping them for Fibre. I'll find out if it was done and let you know.

SADV - Took too long to get us connected.
We avoided TT Connect like the plague
Blitz is beginning their civil works within the coming weeks.

Today Vodacom was signing up people on the corner of Tim and Sett streets in Morganridge, they say trenching will begin in January and we will have fibre by Feb/March 2019. So I signed up because I want fibre yesterday!

it seems that for boksburg Blitz Fibre is the way to go

http://www.blitzfibre.co.za/portfolio-item/coverage/

I certainly hope their fibre isnt as bad as their correspondance is.
They have installed fibre in our complex and I am yet to get any feedback after sending them an email. to ask when they are going live.
a Lady did respond and cc'ed 2 gentlemen, asking them to respond, as they would have a better idea, but they apparently couldnt be bothered to respond.

They were on the corner of Tim and Sett streets again on the weekend taking orders, but I haven't seen any digging yet!

Yesterday the same people were knocking on doors of every house in the street, I asked them when they will start digging and the lady said middle to end of Jan, hoping that she was telling the truth!

Yeah, the prices on Blitz do seem a little more expensive that the same packages on other fibre providers.
