    Any of these fibre things will make a ton of money if they targeted my area. Everyone wants decent internet and Telkom won't give it to us. Yet all the fibre places are in the same areas where there are already good internet.
    Doesn't that kind of make sense though? It means those areas already have the infrastructure and equipment to support a FTTH rollout?

    The funny thing is that I live only a couple of streets away from Sentech.

    But yes, we've got ADSL here, it's just overused. So we've got the same infrastructure as everyone else but fibre is not available here. Just on the other side of Christiaan de Wet there is fibre though which is a block away from me. So I'm hoping that they are expanding this way.
