Residents of Victory Park, Linden, Bryanston South and Blairgowrie have selected Vumatel to establish fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) networks in their suburbs.

“Together with [these] suburbs, this brings the tally to 11 confirmed ‘fibrehoods’ within the relatively short time since announcing the Parkhurst endorsement in July 2014,” said Vumatel CEO Niel Schoeman.

FTTH networks were already operational in Parkhurst, Greenside and Parktown North, while construction would start on networks in Killarney, Riviera, Saxonwold and Parkwood this month.

“With Vumatel expanding its reach from one suburb to the next, to cover an ever-increasing expanse of suburban Johannesburg, we are seeing nothing less than the emergence of an alternative communications network in the city,” commented technology commentator and Victory Park resident Arthur Goldstuck.
