C-Fibre - any good?

[pvdwalt]

Vumatel is just about to complete their FTTH rollout in Randburg area and I am considering the Cell C C-Fibre solution as per below for R699 p/m vs others - has anyone had any experience with C-Fibre?

Why would you want to pay R699 per month if a similar uncapped offer from Web Africa/MWEB/VoxTelecom is R499? (R599 per month with Web Africa for no setup fees and no contract, R100 cheaper than Cell C)

Thanks - yes soo many options! Where to start!?!

Cell C alludes to all sorts of connection fees over and above the CPE installation fee.

Just spoke to Vox and on their cheapest uncapped option only the CPE install is not included, but then only R499 over 24 months is the only cost...

Cell C service is generally good in terms of upload/download speeds and availability on Vumatel. However, they flash the software on the Huawei B315s router which means that you cannot use a VoIP phone service like Freshphone (freshphone.co.za). Freshphone allows one to get rid of Telkom and have a telephone line without the monthly rental fees. Freshphone call rates are also cheap and charged on a per second prepaid cost.

This restriction was not mentioned at the time of signing up and also on on their Ts&Cs. That's the only disappointment.

I'm on Cfibre and I'm using my own router ....have you tried another router? There must be a way to custom flash the B315
