I live in Sea Point and it looks like both Octotel and Openserv/telkom will be laying cable passed my block.
I would assume it's possible to have both fibre providers brought onto the property?
This would allow all tenants and owners to choose between all offerings (ISP's) from both providers.
Each unit would have to pay the installation to their unit though.
Has anyone else got multiple fibre providers installed to their block/apartments?

thanks
 
Depends, usually once one is in the other won't risk investment for half the opportunity. Best to go with Octotel, private no contracts and cheaper rates.

Telkom is significantly more expensive than Octotel, don't even bother with them, just go with Octotel
