Fibre laid by told no coverage

[ACBVD]

Fibre was laid in our street by Metrofibre months ago. But Telkom still tells me "Fibre coming soon" and I am stuck with a 4MB line - now that I am working from home this is a real problem. How long before we can get a fibre connection??

We had fibre lines run in November 2016 and they still aren't live.

1) Check if the MetroFibre coverage map shows that your area is live

MetroFibre Marketplace

2) Try a different ISP

Same situation - had backhaul laid back in 2015 already by Link Africa. Ran a petition in the neighbourhood to get last mile in February. It's a relatively small, but dense neighbourhood. Have over 60 households interested so far. Sent it to Link Africa and they said it looks good. Still waiting patiently.

Telkom ISP is not a partner on MetroFibre Networx (MFN) FNO network.
Try an ISP that is a partner on MFN.

Maybe contact Metrofibre?

Or an ISP on Metro's network?

WTF does Telkom have to do with the story?

I am in the same boat, We had DFA lay conduit a few years back right past my place with a manhole opposite my house.
There is only one line running in it going to a housing estate. Only FTTB shows available at a (obviously high) cost.
Talk about a tease!

Exactly the same vibe here.... About R2000 for 10mbps FTTB.

Why on earth would you voluntarily choose Telkom as your ISP and billing partner on another companies line?
