Any idea where I can find the location/contact details of the Telkom Silverton Exchange(TSIL)? I've located the Technical Services premises but no idea where the actual exchange is..

Moving into the area and trying to figure out how close I am to the exchange.

Thanx!

I'm in the 012 804 .... area as far as I can tell. broadbandstatistics.co.za give a few mini exchanges south of the N4 but nothing in Silverton itself.
 
TSIL is the DSSU and there's a switch there... TSIL04

TSIL05 is on the corner of Lynburn Road and Boekenhout Street.

TSIL06 is on the corner of Ysterhout Ave and Snyman Road.

TSIL07 is on the corner of Ysterhout Ave and Ratel Ave.

Be aware that most of these have probably been replaced by MSANs already.

Just the man I was looking for! I've found all of those but they're all south of the N4, I'll be on Ettiene St north of the N4. Does all of Silverton get routed south or are there exchanges further north?

They've dropped so many MSANs in that area that it becomes difficult to tell. Will find out...

The main exchange building is on the northern side of "Pretoria" Road in the Silverton CBD. Look for the red and white tower.


In the block bounded by Pretoria St on the South, Jasmyn on the north, fakkel on the west and Fountain on the east.

Approx co-ordinates
-25.732767, 28.297687

How do you know? I still have my spies, contacts and friends! :D

All my services work through that place and when the cleaner clears his throat my lines go down .....

Them ous are busy with FTTH North of the N4 so you should be able to get something interesting. It just takes a bit of work to find out who to talk to ....

After a crappy 4meg I'll be happy with a stable 10 for a while!

EDIT: why the hell does it take an afternoon of googling, and random favours on a forum to do what should just be available on a map for you to check?

just about everything the PTA east up to the Faerie Glen koppies in the South works thru Silverton. I presume the MSAN replacements has to do with the fibre roll out in the area?

I well remember the arguments we had about them 2 towers ..... The one was supposed come down years ago, and it is still there. The place used to depend on that microwave system before the fibre routes were established.
