Vodacom Fibre

[Lashie130]

Hwsit Guys

So I recently learnt that Vodacom has installed fibre in my estate in Greenstone. Problem is their prices are honestly not the greatest. I was wondering if their are any fibre companies in association with Vodacom through which I could go through? Like how MTN is in association with Firestream.

Thanks

Sorry guys. I didn't realize this has been covered in another thread. Any update on whether or not Vodacom is now open access???

Have a look at these guys.
They have fibre running in some parts of Greenstone.
I would then get Cool Ideas as my ISP as their pricing structure seems unbeatable.

They are "open access" without any other providers operating on their network as yet, that being said we are in negotiations with them. Along with a bunch of other providers as well I believe.

Thanks a lot. Appreciate the feedback. If possible please keep me posted on the progress.

So apparently, there were 3 fibre companies which approached our estate and based on a bid Vodacom won and the board of directors approved them to install fibre. The estate manager also informed me that 'he thinks' once 60% or more of our estate signs up they will then open the lines for othe ISP's to use their fiber. So basically us residents did not have any say as to whether or not we want Vodacom to install their fibre. I can only assume that this was an ordinary resolution which is why the directors approved it.
