Either congestion or the fact youre using Wi-Fi to test. Please retest with a cabled device during peak hours

If you using that stock hueweieeewee wifi in a big Phoenix home it's not going to give you a good experience.

I'm getting max speed all day using my netgear to handle my wifi
Ill give it a shot. Thanks
Check your wifi deets and signal strength/connection speed. If you connecting at around 72Mbps over wifi it will usually give you this speed. Sit next to main device supplying wifi signal and then speed test.
Thats perfectly in spec for your line

That's par for course! If you want to be anal... disable wifi completely and test again with ethernet cable to laptop.
This is my 40mb VumaReach line with a few idle devices on wifi on a good day... we've been having issues of late so I'll discount those...

Which router are you using? How far away are you from your router? Are there any walls between you and your router?
Of these things are factors when it comes to high speed internet.
If you feel like your internet is too slow then you need a router or get a mesh system

Are they finally in Phoenix? Lol they are a hopeless company
Just showing comparison.. vuma vs 123net
A few months back, I'd completely agree with you regarding the company.
But after enough of backlash, 123net is on the ball now. They do proper follow ups and stick to time frames. After service has greatly improved.
Vuma has just trenched in my area. What's the max speed they offering?

What are you showing? A 100mb line vs a 80mb line?

It depends which Vuma. Trenched/Aerial or Reach?
Trenched/Aerial = 1gbps
Reach = 40mbps (now 80)
Should be Aerial, Core and Reach, big difference being Reach is GPON based and majority of of Core/Aerial are EPON based as Reach is also trenched

"Trenched" is Active Ethernet
"Aerial" (is just a name, doesn't indicate cable position, can be trenched) is GPON
Reach (also underground) also GPON
Ping. Since that was the topic on last few posts..
I'm actually on 55mb plan but they have a different offering. 55mb international, 55mb peered and 55mb local.. Like a double offering on 1 plan..
Is the 40mb from Vuma still at R399?
