Yes, those are the only available speeds on the Vumatel network. As the ISP, we pay for the line and must select the appropriate speed when we provision. We cannot provision in incremental flavours, so the line is most certainly limited in speed on the Vumatel side.
Each time you switch, the ISP pays R999 to Vumatel, so no you cannot switch like that I'm afraid. No ISP would allow it.
We can give you a 4Mbps account as well with 75GB data or uncapped - your choice. If we could subsidise that R1k we would. But you have to make the call - cheapest uncapped on the market or no install cost. Having your cake and eating it on both counts means someone is making a big loss and that's never sustainable. We also must be careful not to start introducing price-points that are loss-making for the sake of land-grabbing as this is anti-competitive behaviour and we're acutely aware of avoiding this sort of thing. You could opt for the standard non-introductory offer which is the same price as the ISP you mentioned and we'll waive installation fee...
