Vumatel close to beating Telkom record

South Africa's biggest fibre network operator (FNO), Vumatel, has nearly one million customers connected to its fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network.

That means Vumatel has almost as many home fibre customers as Telkom had DSL clients at the peak of the legacy broadband technology's adoption in South Africa in early 2016.
 
It's a pity Maziv has steadily declining service levels to a point where I'd rather use Openserve over DFA/Vumatel. I guess they focus more on growth rather than a reliable service. DFA once had the best reliability and now we have sites down for days while paying a stupid premium for a below par service.
 
Why acting like them by being the only fibre provider in most areas??
