sharing a fiber connection

Of course completely illegal in terms of current telco legislation hence why you should have just done it and sworn your neighbours to total secrecy on pain of death.

Oh, I see you already posted

one works for a law firm and the other is an automobile engineer with a laptop. We have fiber here for over a year but they haven't signed up yet, dont think bandwidth will be an issue as of now.

Why don't they get their own installation done?

From a power surge or lightening point of view using fiber to link the three properties would be your best bet.

You have the correct license? Otherwise what you are suggesting is illegal.

Also, I'm tagging this thread for reference the next time people start complaining about the high cost for FNO's to install FTTH infrastructure. That just goes up when people do what you're suggesting.

Just to clear up, the illegal part is sharing internet with neighbor and not the actual connection between the two neighbors?

Cooper may have lightning issue, so fiber line would be fine? It looks to be around R1200 for the equipment and then around R150 for 60m cabling.
