Can I request that they skip me for Fibre?

[ProfA]

Who are they? Not openserve, not vumatel.

There is a sign up that has the following web address up
signup4fibre.co.za.

Ahh, SA Digital Villages.

Complain to them about the quality of work being done.

And you will have no problem with them damaging your driveway/pavement outside your home, hitting your water pipe which will cause dirt and air locks to enter your homes water supply, them making driving in your neighbourhood very dangerous as they leave the dirt and tar bricks in the road?

Meh. I know that you gotta break an egg to get an omelette.

SADV and Vuma are very good at fixing what they break, and reinstating driveways etc.

I drive past it and trying to avoid tar chunks in the road at the same time. not safe to focus on the sign trying to read small logos.

So the answer is no. The road reserve, colloquially referred to as a pavement, is council property, and the company digging it up has the wayleave from said council which gives them permission to dig it up.

Cool. But they have no right fix any connection boxes to MY wall. So what will be the use in digging up my pavement if they cannot fit the cables to the box?

You can to take that up with our project team when they contact you. The short answer is that they will leave a duct buried in the ground at the wall and log the gps coordinates. One day someone else might live there and require a connection. Or your circumstances might change and even you change your mind.

Problem solved.

They promised not to dig at all and skip my home completely. Suits me fine. I just bought the home and plan to die there. That or the government may take it. Point is, nobody is going to need that Fibre for decades.

:crylaugh:

At least you're happy

 

[yebocan]

Based on what you are saying it would seem the workers need some supervision, so might I suggest go and get a khaki outfit, a hat and a sambok, then wait for then to come to your property and supervise.

****...:crylaugh: - !

Except they will dig along the road reserve if they need to, and possibly across your driveway if they need to to complete their network loop, there is nothing you can do about that...

You can (and it seems have) got them to not attach anything to your wall, and thats about as much control as you have over this process.

How they going to get to the next property if they don't go past yours?

They will trench the road in front of my house. Passing my house. No digging on the sidewalk in front of my house though. So my water pipes, paving, lawn, sprinkler pipes, electricity lines are safe. That is all I wanted. let them break eggs to make omelettes at those that really want omelettes and don't mind eggs on the ceiling.
