Yes, anywhere within 200 years. There isn't really an answer for this question. Best would be to phone Telkom to ask them.

If you go to their coverage web site it shows you as light purple. I know of areas about 2 years later that are still light purple. One section in my area has gone dark purple however that section has not moved at all. When Telkom was selling promoting Fiber at the street corner I asked them how long. They said 2 months. Those 2 months have come and gone. It has been almost a year waiting for them to complete. Still waiting

I think that's similar to Vumatel's map where it shows whether people have shown interest, So it's up to telkom when they want to come and lay fibre

I could be wrong but I don't think telkom has a feedback system for interested parties, I think their map indicates planned fibre or fibre in the rollout phase.

Durban is slow with fibre rollouts. I'm not even checking anymore. It rather be a surprise to me :crylaugh:
