Damn, that's really good. Can't wait till they get a move on with the Elfindale area.

So how lond did Coolideas take from sign up to delivery, was the setup fairly simple?

Elfindale, Meersigroad, close to St Augustine cricket field, Vumatel was here today for site inspection. He says starting early 2019 to lay infrastructure.

What area do you stay in?

 

[Surv0]

Yeah, mine was installed (Plumstead) last week. 50mb down gets me about 6mb/s at the moment. Stable and quick, low latency. With Vox.

No, where was this advertised?

Im not taking out a contract and Vox dont pay for the install so yeah.. I installed as a selling point to the house so expecting a return on it

mmmm. I think it has been removed from their website, it still shows on the VUMA site though.

So apparently I ordered just before this special came about... wasnt advised of it at all. Service was setup and installed during the promotion period however I got billed.

Im actually somewhat pissed off about this and trying to get an escalation. I feel its bad play on Vox's part..

So it seems to me that the original Plumstead area is 100% complete.

Vuma now need to move on to Wynberg, Southfield & Elfindale.

Did you not receive the flyer in the mailbox earlier this year also touting free installation?
Perhaps show them, which might convince them otherwise

Edit: Sorry I misread, it doesn't mention a free installation anywhere, only that they waive the setup/activation fee

Does anyone have any sort of update as to when the build in the Southfield and Elfindale areas will start ? I have mailed Vumatel , but i dont seem to be getting a response .
