I deal with them a lot, and I agree.
See my previous post with the latest pricing that was just pulled off the website.
Chances are a help desk agent gave him a very old price list. I've had that happen before.

@Stillie . My complex has MTN fibre. On MTN , there are 2 options:
1. Month to month with MTN , with R1000 install charge. It's capped so you have to buy data separate
2. 12 month contract with SmartVillage
Open Access is a BS story until it happens. It has taken more than 2 years already

Whoaa sorry boss, really sorry, I fscked up here.
I quoted two articles of mtn going open access and the mtn spokesperson mentioning this will also include SV.
"The Smart Village fibre footprint will also be made available on the same open access terms and conditions, once the access network upgrade and the integration into MTN's core network has been completed."
MTN has gone open access (can order via cisp & firestream accordng to their websites) and I wrongly assumed that the OP is in luck here and SV will be catered for as well.

https://www.firestream.co.za/pricing-ftth-mtn.html
Both claim they are taking orders on mtn here on the forum in b&w. I'm assuming that if you are taking orders then negotiations should have been concluded.

So if me repeating what the company reps said makes me liar/bullschitter then so be it, sorry not much I can do about that.

I wasn't having a go at you, but MTN rather. I still believe it's BS
My point is, based on their history...until the first installations go forward...don't believe anything MTN says
yes, actually it is, for the estate i am in. I emailed Smart Village themselves and that is what i was sent.
