Fibre internet for Vaalpark

[RafaleF3ZR]

Hi all, just wanted to know if there's any news of getting fibre optic internet for Vaalpark, Sasolburg. I heard that a company was conducting a survey and takings pics of the terrain on some of the streets in Vaalpark.

There's a new mall/shopping centre in Sasolburg that is being built and is getting Openserve fibre... With plans to roll out to the resedential areas

Thanks, any idea by when the fibre infrastructure will be available ?

Openserve traditionally starts their roll outs to resedential areas in March and finishes in August but most of the vaal suburban area will be covered as Openserve is busy training many of their techs in the Vaal circle.

I saw dug trenches yesterday afternoon at Matroosberg Street in Vaalpark. This morning I saw guys digging further trenches and I asked what was digging for. They said it was for wifi (I asked did they mean fibre and they said yes). Unfortunately the guys I asked did not know the provider.

That is great news! I’m assuming Minnaar Street will at some time also be dug up?

Out of curiosity, anyone know who the ISP is? Saw them digging outside our complex this morning.

Scroll to the bottom of the page at https://signup.sadv.co.za/ you will see all the ISP's available.

BTW, the ISP and the FNO are not the same thing...

Apologies, that's what I actually meant to ask, who's installing the infrastructure?

That's amazing news. Wanted to ask this question as well earlier. They're really rolling out fast to be honest.

They are busy doing a survey in my area in Sasolburg today, he was just here 5 minutes ago saying they, SADV, are deploying fibre in the area and if I'm interested I can fill out the form and they will contact me as soon as it's available.

Whoever did the survey in my area in Sasolburg did it peak holiday time on a Saturday afternoon so maybe 3 people were at home, does that mean no fibre for me?

What is the estimated date for turning on the fiber? What wil we need to do to get the fiber from the box you installed into the home?
So glad fiber is in Vaalpark.
