Telkom Exchange

[McGuywer]

Am I only the only one?

How does one know how far you are from the Telkom Exchange?!

 

[Sting]

Unless you have very specialised cable equipment, you will have to ride around until you spot the Telkom exchange building nearest to you!! Unless you are fed from an UMC or DLC or even a foreign feed, then you have a problem identifying the source...

Of course, the best way is if you know someone in the cable planning department!

Then how can every second oke say I'm 2km from the exchange?

Who specifically?

If Telkom (even the call centre) then they identify the DP that you are connected to and they know the distance from that DP to the exchange.

DP = distribution point (either the telephone phone or manhole closest to you).
