who is "you"?... shouldnt it be "they"?.... or rather Dark Feeeeber Afrika - giving the earth neurons since 2005? Either way... nice one... i would suggest going up to one of the peeps and asking them who they are laying feeeeber for. (its a sort of secret) - but if you approach these companies with a premises literally next to the cable... they will hook you up for free to test their network. i **** you not.

Hi All.
A bit of misrepresrentation in the discussion between you.
Lets answer the questions in order of date.
1. FTTH (fibre to the home) is currently not available from Neotel. although we are running a pilot project on this at one Estate in JHB, it is far from any signed off approval and public launch.
I'd give it alot of time (measurment more likely in years) before this is offered as a service form Neotel for the home consumers. (My opinion)
We do have our CDMA and WiMax technologies currently available to the home user.
2. FTTC (fibre to the curb) costs an estimated (note: estimated) R 500 per metre to lay. So FTTC into FTTH is not currently an open viable solution to the consumer segment hence the wireless product offerings of WiMax and CDMA
3. We don't offer fibre as a free installation for anyone to be able to test our network. As per above point 2, you can understand why.

Where I live in Kenridge, my adsl router cannot sync at speeds higher than about 2.5Mb. This really sucks. My internet sucks.
When will someone bring fibre at least to the corner somewhere close? Roughly a 1000m in almost any direction around me, people are getting 10MB, 20Mb, even 40Mb. It's like I'm smack bang in the middle of a dead zone.....
What the hell? What are my options?
