Openserve Fibre and CISP

[lands911]

Hi there

I want to order the 10/5 uncapped unshaped package from CISP on Openserve. Vumatel is also in my area but are rather pricey on any ISP with 4/1 speed.

Vumatel has installed those grey boxes (probably ONT) next to all units in my complex. Can Openserve use that infrastructure, or do they need to lay cable from the street to my unit (trenching).

I need to understand how this works before I cancel my LTE connection. Please assist

Openserve and Vuma use Separate Infrastructure so if they for some reason have not trenched to your house already then you are out of luck, If i am not mistaken Openserves network utilizes GPON Architecture while VUMA Uses Point to Point

The Grey box is not an ont. It's just a fibre termination/junction box.

This. The ONT gets installed by your provider - it's a standalone device that looks like a modem.

If you go with Openserve, they will provide their own ONT device for you to connect to their network - viceversa with Vumatel.

Sorry man, I don't work for Telkom - I just picked this name so people would hate me.
