Pan-African telecoms operator Seacom has begun phase one of the rollout of "high-speed fibre services" in the greater Johannesburg area.
Today, the company announced it will bring its Internet access services to business and home users in the Southern areas of Johannesburg.
In the statement, Seacom says it will roll out eight kilometres of fibre in Meyersdal, Alberton. The last-mile fibre network will pass several businesses, residential developments and shopping malls in the area.
According to the company, this move is in line with its plans to rapidly extend the reach of its fibre network to more parts of SA, including areas that are currently underserviced by last-mile fibre operators.
Seacom will partner with various resellers to address the home, retail and business markets across the region. These resellers are taking pre-orders for fibre Internet access, with services expected to go live before the end of the year, it notes.
Kevin South, head of Seacom Business - Channel says: "We're in the advanced stages of our plans to enable commercial users and consumers in Johannesburg's south to connect directly to Seacom and experience the power of fast, affordable smart fibre to the home and business.
"You will be able to upload as fast as you download, with no caps, no shaping, no throttling, and no surprise out-of-bundle charges. This is what using the Internet should really feel like."
