Not related to this but is anyone here on afrihost mobile? Of late there is no signal and they are "working" on it.

Anybody else go down for about 10min on Afrihost?

I logged into the ONT/Router and it had in red abnormal network on the homepage after logging in, rebooted the device and nothing changed. Left it and it came right a few mins later

LOS light flashing is a physical network problem (not an Afrihost issue), I had it too when the power came back on. Its clearly related to loadshedding and equipment that failed to come online

When you say equipment coming online, you referring to vumareach equipment?

Yup the stuff in the road (pavement), It normally doesnt happen and I though **** I hope the equipment didnt get damaged with the more regular power cuts

I see Vodacom will be co-controlling of Vumatel/DFA

 

[Jaseyyxx]

Interesting, says vumas fibre network will be merged with vodas. I wonder how this will work.

Vodas assets* not network. So im assuming transit and backhaul etc

Lets see where this leads

FTTH and FTTB. Maybe we'll finally get core speeds. Don't see Reach surviving if Voda gets full control though.

At this stage it is co-control and I don't see VR being under threat as this product is although we don't want to accept pioneering, the segment that the product services, the majority of this segment will not pay core prices, emphasis on majority. This product is build from the ground up for this segment and that is why they used the median data of the areas.

Thats why I like openserves model more, for those that cannot pay normal prices theres the prepaid cheap option. For those that want faster speeds you can get it, all on the same network. Its awesome really

I get that, I just don't trust Vodacom.

For some it is, don't underestimate the the impact that the VR project has on FNO's. You are seeing the pressure on OS and thus is why you are seeing the refocus on Fibre in areas MP/Strandfontein that they would have never have serviced in the past. VR will evolve as the competition will now be enboldened to enter the areas that they have disregarded for years and years. Even the pricing of fibre was impacted by VR this you see even in the once monopoly that is Telkom/OS. Don't forget the age of we will no be expanding the ADSL network due to cable theft and no we will not be bringing fibre to your area.

My advice is use what is at your disposal not all of us will get a Ferrari because it is not always what you can afford.

Neither do I, but the VR model can not be changed easily because the 1 the group that it services and the hardware it utilises are big factors in this.
