Whose fibre is this?

[mariusmarais]

Hi, trying to identify a fibre provider by their tracks...



Does anyone have an idea who this might be?

Maybe try checking afrihost fibre map?

They give two providers, the one's already said it isn't theirs and it doesn't look like the other's standard rollout in the area.

Custom job maybe?

Who are the two providers listed and what area is this? That's a generic fibre box supplied by local fibre supplies distis.

 

[mariusmarais]

Octotel and Frogfoot. This is in Somerset West, just off CBD.

Octotel usually install a branded box on your Perimeter wall. Frogfoot tend to use whichever fibre enclosures they can get stock of, so this is more likely Frogfoot

OK, probably them then, thanks.

We have fibre in that area, but that's not ours.

That is most probably a Manholes4Africa splice box. If the fibre going into it is smooth, then most probably Frogfoot. If the fibre is "ribbed" then most probably Octotel. Hoever, some Frogfoot contractors working in Somerset West have also been using PPC fibre (the ribbed fibre).

On balance, I'd think Frogfoot.

Could be Frogfoot connecting to DFA. Yellow labeling is just strange.
