Portal maps home fibre coverage in SA

 ·25 Jul 2017

Independent telco and fibre provider, OTEL Telecoms, has launched visual guide mapping the location of 250,000 square kilometres of fibre optic cable within South Africa.

The site enables prospective high-speed broadband Internet customers to determine if their homes lie within one of the country’s growing tally of fibrehoods.

Over 100,000 homes are estimated to have access to high-speed broadband delivered by fibre optic underground cable, OTEL said.

OTEL said it adopts a blended approach of building its own fibre network while simultaneously accessing the expanding networks of fibre players including OpenServe, Teralink, Vodacom, Sizwe Connect and others – all of which are shown on the portal.

The fibre portal also indicates which specific estates and housing complexes already have access to fibre.
