Lived in Northriding for quite sometime, the exchange does support broadband but with the rapid expansion it never got upgraded. I moved to Wilgeheuwel which is around 7km away and they have exactly the same problem. Telkom isn't planning on doing any expansions either from the looks of it as I've lived in my place now for two years and nada still.
Hey Lupus,
What was your area number at Northriding? 011xxx?
