When does this go live for current clients on 100/50?
Openserve did say that it will be a phased approach. We are expecting that the portal will be changed on the 1st and then existing lines to be upgraded in the month of March.
I can't tell you how long but I would imagine they will start with certain speeds and areas as a sudden increase might cause issues.
Your pricing will be the same but you will be on a 200/100 link. You can always downgrade if 100/50 is enough for you to save a couple of hundred monthly.

Crazy that I'll only be paying R10 more for 100/50 on Openserve, than my brother on his 20/20 Vumatel line.

Vuma pricing is steep indeed
Please note that we are aware of Openserve lines going down. Openserve is busy upgrading lines and this is causing the lines to go down.
If anyone is down please let me know so I can assist.

was busy typing to ask for your assistance but as I was about to post , it came back online
was this related to the regrades? starting early?
Most 100Mbps lines have been upgraded to 200Mbps last night by Openserve.
Looks like they started early to be ready on the 1st.
Is there any intent from Vumatel to follow price reductions as Openserve are doing (refer to article on MyBroadband this morning)? It feels a bit like Vumatel is becoming the next Telkom keeping at ransom because we don't have another choice...
Unfortunately not at this time.
Vuma has discontinued the 10/2 and 20/2 packages and clients are going to be migrated to the 10/10 and 20/20 package respectively which is priced more unfortunately.
We are in the process of finalizing communication emails to clients which would be sent out soon.

I moved from Openserve (Telkom) aerial to Vuma (Afrihost) trenched more than a year ago.
Maybe I should move back to Openserve... pricing is much better.
By the looks of it everyone has been upgraded already including DSL.
We will finalize the changes this weekend and everyone should start seeing the new speeds from the 1st of March.

Depending on what speeds the Openserve pricing is very competitive now.

Yes you should. Maybe if enough people that have a choice do it, it will force vuma to react helping us plebs out who don't have a choice.
Do we need to restart the Router and ONT for the upgrade speed to take effect?
There should be no need to restart.
No change in line speed here...
I am pending downgrade - not sure if that has anything to do with it.
