Kuils River FTTH

No. I am 99% sure it's an electrical / electricity relay box. It has been there a long time before.
 
Are all these small flags on the corners with C-fibre on it part of this project?
 
Wall box on some houses in my road.It is a small grey box
 
I see that Vuma is busy in Amandel road at the moment. I must admit that they are progressing faster than expected. I also saw 2 Vuma okes talking to a neighbour of mine on the corner of my street. I can feel the fibre already. Although that might just be the bran muffin I ate earlier.:sick:

Yeah. Vuma has separate contractor teams working in each aggregate area. It seems they are competing to get the work done faster... Which is a great thing for us. Plus they have so much experience now with Durbanville and Brackenfell, which helps too
 
Trench trench trench!!!! Finnish the civil work so that I can rape thou pinnacle of inet performace. I beg of thee.
 
They still trenching in area 4-5 when i was there 2 days ago.Areas 2-3 just reinstatement work at the moment.Area 1 i reckon they waiting on the pop to go live
 
Eish, still only trenching in Soneike by the looks of things. I guess fibre in Silveroaks will be a bit later than expected.
 
Parts of Soneike (Area 1, 2, 3 and 4) should be live by the end of the June. They are busy splicing from the look of it.
 
Vuma will start trenching in the Amandelrug, Rouxville area within the next 2 days
 
UPDATE 07-06-2018
Things are progressing steadily as Vuma has started trenching in the Amandelrug/Rouxville area. The Soneike and surrounding areas are just about complete (currently testing the lines) and will go live within the next 2 weeks!

Here are some pictures of the trenching in Waboom/Assegaaibos St

Yeah. Vuma is now Busy with Areas 6 - 9 North(as seen in photo below) and all the areas above it (1 - 5 North) are basically done. ETA for 6 - 9 North is July. Vuma will probably start working in Areas 1 - 10 (Kuils River South) during this month too as they are permitted to work on 4 - 8 areas simultaneously depending on regulations and CoCT.

Area 6 will probably be completed in no time since there is not much residential roads.
