Goodwood fibre initiative

[rph72]

Apparently the survey team started last week in Goodwood. Hopefully they will be able to announce the Townhall meeting once the survey has been completed. Work normally starts shortly thereafter.

Update received from Vumatel:

The qualification is the 1st step in the process. Our teams are currently busy with designing the network for Goodwood. We will most likely start around end July/Aug.

We will be sending our Vumatel Associates that will be going door to door as soon as we have confirmed kick off dates.

Hi guys taken from FB an update.

Good to hear. We had to switch to microwave for our business in the area, which is a lot more expensive than fibre.

First lets start off with Vumatel is pathetic and probably lost in a corrupt database or something the interest shown in that area. Second, you'll have to spread the word to your neighbors to register interest again until 100% interest again.
