Kuils River FTTH

[nova69]

With our POP nearing completion the following still needs to be done over the next few days in Kuils River North AG1 - AG5 (holding thumbs this will be completed by next Friday)

1) Once all civil work has been completed, fibre has been hauled and spliced, testing of the lines occur.

2) Testing requires that light be shined through each line and meter readings are done to check losses.

3) Once testing has been completed, the area will go live and be released for scheduling.

Any idea when Vuma will be going live in Kuils River North AG1 - AG5?

Any idea when Vuma will be going live in Kuils River North AG1 - AG5?

Very soon. Just be patient. Some people who have pre-ordered within this area have already received calls from Vuma to schedule their installation within the next 2 weeks. Also, scheduling will start with oldest pre-orders first (first come, first serve) so if you haven't pre-ordered yet your installation will be scheduled accordingly.

Thanks, I only saw it now. I checked it earlier today but it wasn't updated yet... Will make an update post when I have more info.

According to the map, aggregate 1 to 9 in Kuils River north is now live, which means installations can officially start.

So AG1 to AG5 is live... So what now?
Is anyone live or received installation?

 

[Joff]

Installations are currently being scheduled for AG1 - AG3.

 

[Gralalo]

Like [MENTION=532303]Joff[/MENTION] said. AG 1 to 3 have been released for scheduling (yesterday) and it seems the first installation date will be 25th of July. Every few days more AG's will be released for scheduling as the prior AG's installations get booked. I know my AG (7) will be released for scheduling on 25th which means I'll be able to book an installation then. Regarding priority of installations, the oldest order received per AG will be contacted first.

Latest update from Vumatel

As the Kuils River area has been broken up into 9 areas, we will release areas individually into our installations bucket. Below are the dates that scheduling will start taking place:

Area 1 - Scheduling in progress
Area 2 - Scheduling starting 21 July 2018
Area 3 - Scheduling starting 23 July 2018
Area 4 - Scheduling starting 24 July 2018
Area 5 - Scheduling starting 24 July 2018
Area 8 - Scheduling starting 25 July 2018
Area 9 - Scheduling starting 25 July 2018

Not sure what happened to Area 6 & 7, but I assume that those would also be on the 24th/25th of July.
