What if Vumatel decides to extend it for another month + I want to see how long it takes the to process the downgrades.
The upgrades took several days, but I suspect they'll manage to do the downgrades before 00:00:01.

It will be interesting to see if they extend for another month though.
 
Considering paying mweb an extra r100 just to upgrade to 50/50. Its the sweet spot for a family with people workings from home.
 
is there any evidence to suggest that Vumatel will extend for another month ?
 
Well Octotel are changing the base speeds to 15/15 it seems and some speed bumps along the way too.
Waiting to see what MWEB's pricing will be for these changes.

They extended until end July without making any announcements. So hopefully now news is good news.

I have received correspondence from my ISP where they confirm that Vumatel have told them offer will end 31 July
 
Dear Axxess Client, your free fibre upgrade will come to an end on the 31st July 2020. To stay upgraded on 20Mbps for R805 pm. Simply reply YES. Axxess
 
As Octotel have already announced their base speed changes, surely ALL the ISP's should have pricing for these changes already? I've only seen a few release the new costings
MWEB-> I'm looking at you for the new prices.
thanks!:)
 
Last day of the promotion. How long will it take Vumatel to downgrade everyone?

Vumatel confirmed that they will only start reverting the speed policies from Midnight tonight. So I guess anytime from then.

Yeah, they wasted no time doing the downgrades. Mine's done already.
 
Almost immediately. Lol actually considering putting the extra R200 for the speeds i had yesterday
 
Back to old speed, vumatel.

Yip, have been downgraded - RocketNet, Vumatel. Just tested.

Back to 10/2. Aargh. Entry level should be 20/more than 2 for the same price.

Even Vumatel Reach has 20/2 as the one and only speed.

Openserve-Telkom speed still 40mbps was 20mbps. Wonder if they will downgrade?
 
At least you guys managed to get in on the double speed promo. I decided to test out the 1000/100 speed on Vuma a month before the promo started, and was informed that if I downgrade to my old 100/100 package I would forfeit the double up promo and only receive that speed @ the regular price :ROFL: I understand why it is done that way from a business perspective, but just sucks to miss out hey!
