I read the Ts&Cs and it seems legit. No contract afterwards. Cancel if you want to. But theres no support(obviously) and the router will need to be returned when the trial ended.

Please note, that I could not confirm this with VUMA. Also, the BCA is distancing itself from this. It is unsolicited mail that was sent out.
What I can confirm, is that it is only for the first 300 customers, and after 3 months, no contract price has been given. The add itself does not adhere to the ASA standards
Mmm.... Thanks for the heads up. Will be avoiding this fir now.
You are doing a speedtest to durban, try one locally.

Yes sorry you are a part of our new IP space which ookla hasn't updated it's Geo location from, so it might test to random servers in SA for the next week or so. Try manually selecting a server in Johannesburg and it should be sub 5ms latency.
Wil do some more when Im home

You have fibre and you leave your house? Why?
It is V-day. Even the biggest nerd in the world sees the sun at least once a year
Nice, that's more like it.

Next week it seems. My fibre deploy date was moved again today, from tomorrow till the 29th
Really getting a bit irritated about the date being moved all the time. But it was because of the trenching that they were not allowed to drill. Seems they can start drilling again next week

Thanks for the update, can imagine your frustrations at the installatiom delays.
I'm in the process of paving my area but decided to park it till I get the fibre installed. Will need a trench line in my property too so don't want Vuma having to repave the new paving. Sucks that I keep needing to postpone this due to the recent delays, and also dealing with my constant adsl cuts because of the rain.

Yeah my ADSL is really shiiiiiit tonight
If you do the trenching yourself, Vuma can bring the sleeves and put them under ground so you can carry on with your paving. Depends on how much you need trenched I guess.

You can put a conduit under your driveway, and just let them know before trenching. Then they pull all the cables through there.
Yep. Am looking forward to tje fibre for the following reasons listed in priority:
1. Stability in all weather conditions.
2. Cost (will actually cost less than my current adsl line even though I will get double my current speed and data)
3. Speed.
Stability is the main driver for me at this point. Sick of constant disconnects in bad weather and slower speeds afterwards. I don't even bother with Telkom anymore.
