1 step closer :)

Do yourself the biggest favour you can and avoid using the Cellular providers as a Fibre provider. They run their fibre business the same way they run their Cellular business.... shockingly. The horror stories from people on Cell C and Vodacom are scary. Look at a Cool Ideas, Supersonic, Vox, Web Squad etc. but cancel your Vodacom one while you still can and order through somebody else...

I noticed today some of the complexes have Fiber installed Ends are not made of yet.. Nicely rolled up in the box. :sneaky: It seems to be happening. Slowly but surely.

After taking my early morning walk.

Found Fiber installed at my place. Will post picture, something wrong.

Image ..013 shows fiber present but they cant determine which orange hollow sleeve goes were.
Image ..02 shows no fiber.
Neighbour hollow sleeve was in same box going same rout as mine. They never took it out.

Explain hauling teams.
You guys started long before us.
I just got back from my two week vacation. I will be on the look for Pink Jacket wearers.

Ok
Hauling (pulling) seems they need to connect Selection Park to Edelweiss, Strubenvale and Casseldale. Is this not the hold up?
Then Brakpan need to be connected to Springs Vumatel.
Saw that they where busy at the crossing at the Mall when I got back on Friday. Hauling hollow pipes Purple, Blue and Turquoise across the intersection. Saw that N17 completed.
