Currently got a Telkom techie in our property "A Panhandle" measuring the distances between the telephone poles - App he said they are putting in new lines ... This is in the Somerset West Area (CT)

Fish Hoek, too

Telkom's been digging up pavements, laying cables and replacing street corner boxes in central Fish Hoek for the past two weeks. Spoke to two techies on the corner, and they said they're busy upgrading all the cabling in this area...

prob converting all last mile to fibre, dont smile.. you wont get adsl this way ;-)

 

[Arcadies]

lol but maybe they will offer us some sort of fibre link... or not

Sure, when they roll out their mini-dslams they will(if they ever deliver what they promise) but i still suspect users wanting access to this device will see a extra rental/installation fee
