Massive Telkom fibre-to-the-home roll-out begins

Telkom has announced that more than 12,000 Bryanston homes will have access to fibre technology by March 2016, making it the largest fibre open-access suburb to date. The fibre roll-out has already started.

“We are rolling out fibre to all of Bryanston as part of our aggressive push to provide one million homes with fibre access by 2018,” said Telkom MD of Wholesale and Networks Alphonzo Samuels.

“Bryanston will be a model for the country when it comes to connecting entire suburbs to fibre broadband.”
