Fibre: Secunda Community

Damn ICASA, knew they would screw it up. It is a piece of paper just print it already!
 
Hey,
We actually bought Directional Drilling machines and trenchers additionally ;)
You will see them soon digging in Secunda.
To all the rest "friends": don't worry. We will make people of Secunda very happy! No matter how much you can "love" us ;)

Now now we do love you , its just normal to worry about the things you love. :)
 
@Kalin. Will there be somewhere that we could see a usage breakdown on the data we use each month?
 
Anyone see the trenching at the flickering robots (near the Mercedes garage)?

I assume that's still the DFA guys not 123net?
 
Urge wish I had a magic stick to make the next 5 months disappear, dammed wish I didn't know about our soon to be fibre, then I didn't have to look forward to it so much :(
 
@Kalin would it be possible to spoil us with some speed tests or ping results from South Africa to London on 123net fibre?

Reason for me asking is if you look at this thread :

speed tests.jpg

Speed test also done on fibre from Cape town and the best results is 160 ms ping to London at best.
As I recall from our meeting you said we would see 140 ms to EU give or take now I understand 123net might run on different circuits than these fibre lines do but is 140 ms really something we can expect realistically. Was answering some question from People and everyone was like 140 ms? really? and I was saying "well that's what they said" so somewhat scared about quoting this part again as I am starting to doubt.

For both of your problems

Can also be used as an ICASA motivation tool
 
Honestly I don't see what is holding ICASA back. They already notified 123net that the license has been granted. Why would they not just email the paperwork through? Wrf are they waiting for?
