Morning All, Happy Monday!

So Vuma is done in my area and I can now proceed with my install / picking an ISP.

I am hoping to get an ISP that is offering the free install (R1790 / activation). Has anyone see any specials out there at the moment? I dont mind a contract if the deal is good!

Cheers.
James.
 
Why dont you just check on the vumatel site... all isp's and offerings are listed... some with contract or not that either include or waiver the fee?

https://shop.vumatel.co.za/

Example, Cool Ideas offer a month to month option with no activation fee...

To cover the actually installation fee once off most bundle that into the contracts... its rare but i do recall one isp even offering to cover that on the month to month option...

Beware the M2M option with no fees comes with the catch that should you cancel before a set period is complete you are to pay those charges... so choose wisely

Why don't you try applying for the Telkom 4Mb/s uncapped promo on Vumatel on a month to month basis and then you can change afterwards. Reason I mention this is that I just got mine via openserve and there is no installation fee and they gave me a wifi router and this was on a month to month order. I don't see why you can switch providers afterwards and up your speed. I can't gaurantee this is how it will work with vuma+telkom but it might be worth looking into.
 
No ISP will cover installation without a commitment of term or clause to cover fees after early termination. Basically a contract with an early termation fee if you like. We already cover the connection fee and router cost at risk on true month to month.

I not sure. On my contract says 12 months if opted for free installation and connection you need to pay the full cost. Month to month.

I have no contract (month to month only), got free installation & router.

There is an early termination clause somewhere, who offered you this? If on Openserve they were offering free installs themselves until the end of June.

This was extended until the end of this month.

Yeap so that's fine if the operator is offering a free installation, but they are the only ones doing it. Which we then carry to customers. Openserve hasn't told us it's been extended for July. This is the joy of dealing with them.

But usually the fee is over R2500 which no ISP will absorb on true month to month.

I can finally get fibre on Vumatel. Just phoned CellC, will not touch them, if you decide to cancel within 12 months of them giving you free installation and modem - they will charge for both.

Any other recommendation? Maybe I should just pay the installation fee and get it over with.
