And there I was expecting something more thorough. In a nutshell, the wealthy places get dibbs on FTTH, because they can afford it.

Our area is getting Fiber because there is nothing, like nada, boggerol hehe. But this is a complex in Olympus AH, most expensive unit is 1mil, so not the super rich. But it's a big complex, so that is most probably the reason why.

I hoped for better prices than ADSL, but the budget line as I call it is a 4mbps uncapped package just under R700. A blessing for some with money, for me it will be the best I can get unfortunately. In this scenario I would prefer ADSL, as a 2mbps package would work out cheaper and it's all I need. Or I think it would be cheaper, but two years ago 4mbps was close to a R1000 a month, so I suppose I am saving.
