I don't know anyone personally but evonet said it was being rolled out. I'm really interested in it as I used a wimax before and was happy with it. Had 4mb down and up.

How do you know this?
It might be fiber to the base station and wireless from there in phase one.
CWM said something in that direction just before they left us on a cliffhanger by going radio silent about all new products in the pipeline.

AFAIK if there is no fibre in the area then it is fibre to a base station and then a wireless network... until there is sufficient demand to go FTTH in that area. I also doubt that Evonet is exclusive to CW and will guess that other ISPs will be involved in the venture. This will put pressure on the fibre network providers to speed up their FTTH rollout.

Technology Information
Crystal Web has partnered with Evonet South Africa to bring the latest in connectivity solutions to South Africa.
Phase 1 involves the deployment of V-Band/E-Band/Massive MIMO multipoint wireless technology with fibre backhaul direct from the Point of Presence. This technology is capable of delivering speeds up to 300Mb/s to each customer depending on deployment feasibility, but for now we are rate-limiting this to 100Mb/s maximum speed.
In simple terms, this operates on a similar basis to how you would experience an uncapped LTE-Advanced connection, except without the problem of overloaded cell-towers that typically slow speeds down.
Phase 2 involves the deployment of the latest in fibre technology and is site feasibility dependent.
Phase 3 involves the deployment of advanced wireless access technologies over and above the existing infrastructure already deployed and will achieve speeds up to 1Gb/s

Any of you had any feedback regarding the lines being downgraded? I'm STILL sitting ADSL 20Mbps and I'm supposed to be on VDSL 40Mbps
