Vuma Price to ISP

[DStvNothingOn]

Does anybody have an idea what Vuma charges to ISP i.e.
Line Rental
bandwidth capacity
price breakout

Just out of curiosity, don't mean to be direct or anything but what would this information help with?

Yeah I don't think it's any of your business.

My exact point, even if it was R200 it helps nothing.

Why would any ISP divulge such confidential information.

Im really struggling too see what issues is, I'm just interested.
We all know how telkom IPC works so it would be interesting to see how Vuma differs and works.

Im not asking the ISP once again we know how telkom IPC works

For the consumer.
dstvnothing has just been stating how bad Cool Ideas is in page load, said he moved to Home-Connect and is probably having issues with them as well now as it's a general Vuma issue.

No. It's about a grand a month from Vuma to the ISP for 100/100.

The consumer pays more than that (1100-1500) depending on the ISP.

Cool ideas is fantastic. Vumatel is fantastic. That is all. (vuma active ethernet, that is. Can't speak for aerial. My pings to 8.8.8.8 are consistently below 1ms on Crystal Web. A massive fiber outage in Rosebank was mitigated within 2 hours)

Slow page loads will be a problem on the PC, or bad settings or something.

The stalk? You stated it on a thread I was following which was talking about Afrihost. Yours is just the first comment I've read complaining about page load times on Cool Ideas, which is why I remember it.

*IMPORTANT NOTICE* - Dear Cool Client

Vumatel and Fibrehoods are experiencing disruption on their backhaul network in the Rosebank area, causing complete link outages, and in other cases increased latency and packet loss

Teams from Vumatel and Fibrehoods are investigating, and have been dispatched. There is currenly no confirmed time for resolution.

Your patience and understanding is much appreciated

*UPDATE NOTICE* - No further update has been provided by the Fibre line providers regarding the various issues being experienced with the FIbre cables, we await feedback this morning

Please keep a look out on our page for further updates on resolution

The page load time we a long term issue for me on Cool Ideas, so i don't think temporary network issue on the Vuma Network are to blame.

The change from Cool Ideas to Home-connect was originally purely due the cost saving, after the change i noticed the much improved service.
So unless people change i think they wouldn't noticed the degraded service on the cool ideas network, this my be the reason.

Last Friday I was at a friends place with a 20/20 Cool Ideas on Vuma, page loads were pretty much instant. /shrug

At least changing ISP fixed your problems, so hope you're happy with the improved performance.

Go check for submissions on the ICASA website.

If it is not there, then I doubt if anyone will provide it here as they are bound by NDAs when they contract with Vumatel.

I didn't see him say that anywhere in this thread.

Every ISP negotiates a different deal with Vuma. Some may even mark up their prices to increase their margins or some may offer a more premium service and as they say, you get what you pay for.
