Hey Guys

Anyone heard of mtelecoms i got a letter in the post last week that they will be installing fibre infrastructure in my area over the next few months.

Cheers

No. But remember in the fibre environment "few" is very flexible.

What do you mean?

I got a letter from CellC fibre a year ago. And they are just an ISP on somebody else's network. No spade has touched the ground yet.

I know COVID but that is the norm. Wait till you see people working/digging and keep your ear on the ground. Ask around if anybody is live yet. Fibre in the ground still means very little. They must then start with residential terminations/last mile and go live/light up the fibre.

I can share some horror stories regarding mtelecoms. Good luck. I have sleepless nights over the chaos they have caused me in Krugersdorp.

Unfortunately I can't comment on their build in KZN. Out of my region.

They used to be part of Motheo.

Explains what happened to the telecoms division of Motheo. Mtelecoms is the remains of that division that try and scrape it together as they go along. No longer part of Motheo.

Yup. Mtelecom subcontract a lot.
