Fibre is kak

Good day, please note we are investigating the above issues and will revert as soon as we can update.
 
Frogfoot is k@k, they are damaging water pipes and power cables daily while doing their bloody trenching in Garsfontein.

Everyone is damaging this. There are no drawings where this pipes are. I suggest one person dig a big trench, replace old water pipe and lay pipes for eg fiber. Then anyone just use this already laid pipe and the residents have new water pipes.
 
Yes, Frogfoot is super bad. It was the only choice in our area.

We had a 50mbps radio connection that mostly ran okay, but logically thought a cheaper 100mbps fibre line would make more sense. Bad move - it actually runs slower on average than the radio, with regular periods where throughput inexplicably just stops for a few moments (especially in the evenings) and we've had more outages in a month than in year on the wireless. Shocking.

We had no problems that I can remember of when Telkom/Openserve trenched their fibre in our area.
 
Oof, I hear nothing but negativity about Frogfoot, wide swerve. Be careful which fibre operator you choose as a complex/suburb, once the cables are laid you're locked in.

That's if you even have a choice - they are trenching up lots of PTA East and are the only provider so...

Definitely not in my area, but yes they are doing lots of work around PTA East, especially rietfontein/rietondale side. If Frogfoot is your only choice then that is how it is

Its odd - in our road, one side of the road has Openserve and has had it for years, but it was only this year that FF came and started digging up our side of the road... No Vuma, no SADV

In my road, NO ONE wants to install fiber, Frogfoot is busy a few blocks a way and Openserve is not miles away, but asking any of them why they don't seem to be expanding to my area but rather away from it falls on deaf ears. Now the ADSL has also been stolen and everyone is just "Sorry ne", using LTE has gotten me to a point where I am looking to move into a house with Fiber available

Rain 5G?

Going to try that next week, but the signal map draws a nice circle around my area, 4G is available but 5G not. Although when I go to apply for 5G they say its available

I'm also thinking to give it a try for 1 month
