I understand that Vumatel and SADV have merged, and the new entity that the SADV fibre networks fall under is called Vuma Villages.
As I understand it, SADV had a number of ECN/S licenses for areas that Vumatel did not, and that they are currently in the process of changing those over to...
I stay in an area where fibre was originally installed by SADV. However, since the Vuma / SADV merger, all ISPs currently list the area as not having fibre.
I currently have a working active fibre connection with MWeb, and would like to upgrade to a higher service. Trying to speak to anyone at...
Thank you once again for the explanation. Is there someway that I can tell if the network is badly loaded by Vumatel into their system, or someone I can contact to verify?
Thank you very much for the explanation. What happens with the 10% of SADV rollouts? Will they eventually be merged under Vuma Villages? If SADV is no longer doing fibre rollouts, then it surely makes no sense to keep these networks? Also will SADV honour their previous open access network, or...

I've also setup iperf servers both locally...

This was our setup:
My line ( WebAfrica 100/100 account, line with SADV )
Friends line ( WebAfrica 100/100 account, line with Vumatel )
We also setup servers, one locally on hetzner, and international ones on AWS.
We ran Iperf tests between the two lines, and get 100mbit/s full...
Hi,
As of Wednesday ( 7th August ) this is the state of my international access with WebAfrica on their 100/100mbit uncapped account:
I can get full line speed locally, but anything overseas cannot exceed 5mbit/s. Ive had to call them multiple times, and they never call back, and there is no...
