I want fiber @ home - how? - Can't deal with crappy internet anymore, the so called 4Mbps - its closer to 1Mbps

this sounds good, so how long till we get fiber connections? o, not soon.

Your forgetting that they will still have the usage caps, so you will have faster speeds but same cap.

Special K? [Apologies .. could not resist]

They are also able to retrieve old copper which can then be resold representing a large cost-benefit to operators.

They're going to find a lot of competition there.

...if government is going to deliver on its various eGovernment initiatives

Be very careful about this governmint's promises, they side with whoever will bring them personally the most benefit at the drop of a hat.

There is also the savings that will be made from preventing copper theft. Since fiber has no intrinsic value, Telkom could stand to save on the millions they spend each year to replace stolen copper.

I hope you are letting the copper thieves know about the replaced copper, but ... then again ... why would you?

I hope Kabel-X are paying us for this advert.

There is an interactive walkthrough of the process on their website.

So if Telkom or whoever offer fiber to home, does this mean we could also have ridiculous speeds like Japan? If so, i can imagine the cost!...
