    Ready to cut the local Vumatel lines due to their bad service

    Earlier this week my Vumatel/Wondernet FTTH line went offline for 9 hours. During that time I was assigned a new IP. Now you would ask, what is the problem?

    Vumatel Installation Query

    Regarding the installation by the Vumatel contractors, what is the scope of the install?
