My CPE is already installed and also considering cellc as an ISP.
Speaking to a rep they said its 3 months free, free router, free installation, free connection and 1GB x 12months.
Any feedback?
They seem to workout to R450 pm effectively compared to crystal web(saving of R400pm) and R530 pm compared to CISP(saving of R370pm).
I wanted to go to crystal web but they intro prices are finish.

This was the cheapest package I could find from them: https://shop.vumatel.co.za/package/V1xa-P_lQm

I'm also interested in CellC fibre.

This the full costing with installation + Connection fee + router + monthly cost for 20Mbps up/20Mbps down uncapped/unshapped.
12 months costing(20Mbps+)
Crystal Web = R1710 + R999 + (R845 x 12) + Router Separated cost R999 = R13848 or R1154.00pm
CISP /Cool Ideas = R1710 + (R899 x 12) = R12498 or R1041.50pm
Cells C = 9 x R899 = R8091 or R674.25pm

Extra Peeks:
Crystal Web - Premium News Server(Worth R120pm)
CISP - VOIP Worth R90pm (Pending decision)
Cells C = 1GB x 12months (LTE Mobile Data) worth R120

But CISP and Crystal Web Support is the best. I don't know Cell C Support.

I signed up for a 50/50 at the start of the month. Only connected me at 9am on the 1st, so was without Internet for some hours (previous ISP said they'd kill my connection at midnight, but actually did before 11pm). Other than that, I am happy. Their local speed tests are very close to the Vuma internal tests.

I did random test through out the night and day time. It seems consistent with no drops.

Very happy with Cellc so far, going to bump to 100/100 next month :).

I'm also pretty happy, I think only thing I wish to know is my usage just for my info....pity that they don't provide that
Sabnzb via secure usenet downloads between 10-12MB/s
P2P is inconsistent but I average 5-10MB/s
Web downloads 11-12.5MB/s
