Cheapest FTTB ?

[jamacouve]

Apparently DFA have pulled fibre to our restaurant.

Any recommendations who to use for an ISP ?

I contacted a host of ISPs {most semi good ones on list here} based on thread here.

DFA, Vumatel and Openserve had fibre near.
First of, Vumatel will not provide for business.

Most ISPs quoted DFA at +- 5k per month with +- 6k install cost.

The cheapest options was quote by Vox, I had to ring the CPT office, the general sales were not good.
They quoted:
Will use DFA. At +- R2500 /m for 20Mb/s no cap, 1:1 contention with +- 6k install cost.

Note these were all quotes.

I am of the opinion an Openserve quote may be more competitive if you have the energy to fight for one.

The fibre install is paused at this site at this time.
The business in question is spending significant resources to provide backup power and water, fibre will follow later.
Who believed us when this was presented as the future 25 years ago!

There is very little chance you'll have so many operators to choose from...

Vumatel will absolutely install for a business but your choice of ISP's will be less, last time I checked, VOX, Telkom and Cool Ideas had business packages. I installed on monday this week a Vumatel business fiber through cool ideas @ R 2699pm
