FTTH? DFA doesn't to FTTH if I'm not mistaken. DFA supplies bigger companies like Telkom etc with unlit fibre to provide links between two points.

As a consumer you will probably not get direct access to the DFA network, but if you really want fibre that badly, look at safibre as they can offer Fibre over the DFA network.

You would need to chat to SADV but they only really do complexes.

Thank you. I realised that DFA aren't the ones to contact, hence I wondered who would be.

Thanks also.

I also wondered because ISPs like mweb or afrihost don't list dfa, but possibly do list SADV or safibre. Maybe it's best just to see when my neighbourhood lights up on one of the connectivity maps. (patience)

Our process has changed we are targeting entire neighbourhoods now:D

Hi there. What are the requirements for providing fibre to a neighbourhood? I've got a live DFA fibre running past my one boundary wall, with a manhole within 3 meters of the wall, and as I type this, more fibre is being laid across my driveway. So I have DFA on 2 sides of my property. Do you accept bribes in cash or Bitcoin :)
