DFA Fibre

[rubber_otter]

Hi Guys,

Please assist. There is DFA Fibre in the street in front of my complex. Getting in there will not be a problem as I am part of the trustees. But who do I approach to get the fiber pulled in? Which ISP will be able to assist?

Speak to DFA

 

[cobusv]

DFA also does open access networks, maybe call them directly and see what can be done, i'm sure they'll assist, they did a similar installation at my dads workplace, free of charge if my memory serves me correctly

Any number of operators run over DFA's network. Vox/Frogfoot, Cybersmart, MWEB and RSAWEB are a few examples.

DFA will not deal directly with you unless you're an ECNS license holder. You should contact an ISP and get a feasibility from them.

Edit: To expand on what cobusv has said, they do installation free to businesses because they know they're likely to make more money from that. FTTH is a very different ballgame for them.

Wonder if I shouldnt ask for my companies ECNS license, get the fiber installed, and sell the bandwidth back to my company
