To all Atholl Heights, Westville residents, please register your interest in bringing Vumatel fibre to our area by doing so at https://vumatel.co.za/coverage

Central Westville and Berea West are already on Vumatel's planning roadmap, but now we need to bring Atholl Heights into the mix.

Thank you!

I just got a call from Vumatel now. They haven't started the planning for Westville as yet.

Why do you want Vumatel specifically? You can get Afrihost over OpenServe in your area right now.

Unfortunately not; I stay on the other side of the M19. Telkom haven't installed any fibre in our roads, with the exception of Dunkeld Road.

Our next best hope is for Vumatel.

I know the feeling. Moved in a couple of months ago and even battling to get normal adsl in this area. I have signed up on all possible fibre websites. Hopefully one day. Although I did see RSAWEB saying they have fibre in Atholl Heights(Otherside of the M19)

Things seem to be looking up for Atholl Heights. A final push is required to get us over the remaining threshold, to the 100% mark.

almost there!

Yep. Almost there. We're now sitting at 96% interest, but Vumatel require the neighbouring suburb of Reservoir Hills to also have 30% interest registered before they start build. The battle is not yet won...

Qualified, but like I posted above, we have to wait for Reservoir Hills to qualify first.

Why do they need Reservoir Hills to be at 30% anyway phase 1 RH is above 40% and phase 2 around 23% so doesn't that qualify you guys?
