Unfortunately that's all that price wars end up resulting in, as has previously happened over the years. We're now already at an artificially low general price point in the market, so we believe that it's time to start delivering a better experience instead.

Jirrrr, Better experience... :mad:
 
Okay. Official question: Any plans for residential fibre offerings? My question seems to be being dodged -__- :twisted:
 
I'm struggling to connect to Tapatalk servers since yesterday.

I also noticed that during browsing I often have long delays with a message at the bottom of the browser indictating that it is waiting for a script to be downloaded from a proxy server.

I don't have a proxy server.
I do use PfSense.

Anybody else experiencing this or is PfSense acting up?

Yes. But remember that actual plans will be announced as PR rather, and not in forums as answers. Announcements about this are coming soon, but we're not ready to announce them just yet.

I've seen TapaTalk having some issues. Checked on our end and not us as the cause. But it does sound like there may be an issue we can investigate for you here.

Can you hop on chat and ask the guys to help?

Oh certainly. We can already do Telkom FTTH, and, and, and TBA.

Just finalising a few things still on our end now. ;)
 
Is Telkom rolling out FTTH to all areas with copper or is it only the rich areas?

It's not necessarily "rich areas" only, but the quicker return, early-adopter areas are targeted first. Affordability is one factor in their planning process only, albeit a critical one.
 
so basically areas where the people will pay $$$ for it.

Hopefully after the IPC price drops 100Mbs over IPC becomes more than just a contention nightmare.

To get someone to take up something expensive like FTTH takes effort, not everyone knows about it and not many people will pay for it. Look at how many people on this board, where everyone earns a billion a month, is sitting with a 2MB line and waiting for Telkom to upgrade it to a 4MB line. The line rental is R165 vs R299, which although almost double, is about the cost of a Nandos meal for 2 people.

People in South Africa just don't spend money on stuff, and you need to really target your areas properly. That is also why the FTTH guys need so many signups before they start, not everyone will take it but if you have 300 people that were interested at least you know you aren't just going to wire up one house.

For example in my area, we got on the FTTH train because we got 100s of households to sign a petition to Telkom to trial us for FTTH, and the take up was high so we got on the commercial rollout.

Which is great. I hope that more people see that and make it happen for them.
