Hi @ThinkCars Vuma is prioritising restoring our portal access. I apologise for the inconvenience experienced, I will log a fault as soon as we are back up.Slow speed connection again on Vumtel Villages. I hope this will not be the constant problem we had before last year. I phoned Afrihost support and he said there is nothing they can do as they are unable to report the fault to Vumtel which is crazy. I can call them why are you unable to call Vumtel to report the fault? I remember Afrinatic getting involved to solve this constant problem a year ago and it was fixed for a while.

Hi.Thanks. I see my support ticket has been removed from my portal?
Can you give us details on what the issue is and when it will be fixed? Because it seems like you are saying the same thing worded differently.
Telling me there is a problem (as you did a couple weeks ago) is not a new development.
Thanks Afrigirl.Hi.
Your ticket is open and has been moved to the Network Operations queue.
Unfortunately, I cannot confirm what the issue is now. A notice has been put up on our Network Status page while Metrofibre further investigates the cause of the degraded services.
