Tshwane's plans for free Wi-Fi mess

The City of Tshwane has told MyBroadband that it is planning an infrastructural overhaul of its free Wi-Fi service.

It intends to do this to restore stability to the network following years of vandalism, theft, and inadequate funding, which have degraded core infrastructure.
 
I wonder who on earth you spoke to cause got 0 response, not even council knows anything.

We have just finished our first leg of the network and we should have it up before the end of October mid-November (first phase). The initial phase will have parts online by next year June hope to have wider coverage in CBD Tshwane and some of those listed. Thus far, Mamalodi, Menlo Park, Waterkloof Glen, to name a few are on the list. Offerings 15/15Mbps not here for fame and glory just want to help connect. Will let anyone know who wants to know.

What is your url?
 
And in some other countries this isn't even needed with internet infrastructure so abundant.

Well at the moment it looks like a chain on the map but the plan is to mesh it all up. Cores are Mikrotiks sadly can't tell more about the dishes and the AP's but they are generally available to the consumer market. We are testing some of these devices as some of them are actually pretty new onto the market. thus far their performance is great just their backend configuration can be a bit... off.

Thanks, we have 1 CCTV security installer in Pretoria East that loves this as well, the price is actually quite flexible it just doesn't show it all too well...
