Frogfoot explains Eastern Cape outages

[Jan]

Photos of fibre cable destruction that caused major outage

Two double cable breaks on Frogfoot’s fibre network caused major connectivity problems for Eastern Cape coastal cities and towns during November.

Speaking to MyBroadband about the incidents, Frogfoot sales and marketing head Shane Chorley explained that they do have redundant cables and routes in place.

Here in KZN, there was a crew that went around throwing bloody Molotov's into fibre manholes because they didn't get their contracts for the rollouts.

They said fibre won't suffer from cable theft

What they forgot is that we are constantly inventing more desperate and stupider thieves.

@Jan you need to find out why they so much regular maintenance. It's literally every single week without fail. Their service is bad. Check the forums for those complaints in PLZ alone, as well as other towns and cities.

It's been so bad in PE that our neighborhood telegram group renamed them Vrot Voet. This was well before the November "troubles".

Maybe someone on PLZ does not like Frogfoot? You know, like taxi wars?

Any correlation to the renaming?

My suspicion is that there are areas in PE that have constant FF issues and are therefore very vocal with their distaste for the company.
