How long will this take? Is there an ETA?

There is no ETA currently. Vuma is investigating and locating the break. Technicians en route for a repair.

I agree...Vumareach extremely problematic. Been multiple issues, 5th I think....lost count, since going live few months ago. Will be switching over to Openserve once they go live. Installation in progress. Busy stringing aerial fibre in our road.

Openserve 200/100Mbps sounds like a dream right about now

Is there a website to check Openserve's coverage? Vumareach still a cheaper option though

There website not updated. Does not say "roll out in progress". Openserve more stable, and higher speed options, like 100/50 and 200/200 and better contention ratio.

Then they will access neighbors yard. Hopefully they at home when team arrives

This is my fear that they might not be home when they make a turn to check out the pole

Vumareach is the cheaper option yes, but with all the faults that have been happening of late is very discerning to say the least. Out of all the faults that have happened since go live date only one was from the ISP and the rest have all been on vuma's side.

@AfriNatic has been exceptional with his customer service in helping us to have all these faults attended too

Sinve theu string fibre from.pole to pole, maybe they will try and access pole from your backyarf, as was done in my case
