Does anybody know if there are any options for getting a Fibre connection in Northcliff. I have spoken to Cybersmart and if there is enough interest in our street then they can run new cables from 14th Ave but I would prefer somebody that already has the infrastructure in place.

I see that we are on Vumatel's list of potential expansion areas but so far we are a long way off.

There are a project going on with Vumatel. There are also somebody in Northcliff organizing everything.

Please see the below article. I would recommend you sign the support of VUMA just in case as well.

I have already signed the Vumatel interest form and I am trying to get everybody that I know in the area to sign as well. I was just hoping that there was something already available as Vumatel is probably not going to happen for some time still.

They recently had a couple of town hall meetings. Not sure if you were aware of it all. Also there are more people who are interested, and have started working with VUMA. As far as I am aware, Northcliff will be split into 2 areas, to make it easier to reach the required number. I would suggest getting a community association in there if you can, just to coordinate. Unfortunately, I cannot give the name and number of the people running with this, that I know off.

But there is defintely something happening. In the article above it is also mentioned. You will probably get it in 2016
 
OK thanks. I saw the notices for the meetings but was unfortunately unable to attend either meeting.
