yupNice! Is this result using Vuma Aerial?
Thanks.I see this is a limited offer until 28 Feb 2020. Websquad and Cell C indicate this on their package details... but the other ISPs that offer the package at R1499 don't, however likely the same. What will be the cost after 28Feb 2020 I wonder..?

We’ll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, let’s just enjoy it!
I'm guessing the lite package is an attempt on Vumatels part to see how their network would run while offering Gigabit. The price is so low (1gbit symmetric is indcated as being around R7000 for comparison) since local bandwidth costs basically next to nothing, so they can offer a really cheap package that covers local bandwidth, especially since it is a cost carried by the ISP (to my knowledge at least).
After 2020 we probably won't see the lite package anymore, but if we do I'm guessing it would be in the range or around R2000 to R2500, which still enables ISPs who only offer 200 symmetrical to stay competitive...
The thing I don't get is the limitation on the upload speeds. I don't see why they wouldn't just offer a symmetrical gigabit package for local content and international is guaranteed at 200/200 with a possiblity to boost depending on capacity. This smells like some nonsense Telkom would pull by withholding capacity...
Anyway like I said, the above is pure guesswork and speculation, but it's somewhat of an educated guess... I guess... lol?
Maybe @websquadza can answer that one

you share the 1 gig pipe with everyone else connected to it
Okay, in my area there's only Aerial available.

I believe its 1.2 Gbit/s upstream and 2.4 Gbit/s downstream, as they use GPON?

Apparently anywhere between 32-64 users...

Up to 64, but no one has yet to post anything concrete as to how many splits Vumatel actually uses.
I don't think any Fibre operator will use more than 32 it just does not make sense unless they only offer up to 100Mbps and is relatively expensive. 32 is probably the most common and 16 would be ideal for lots of high line speed lines so I think the splits will be managed by a fibre operator when more people join and the OLT bandwidth starts to fill up.
Everything is working great, but there appears to be a routing bug in JHB on the vumatel handoff? @websquadza

Morning. No routing bug, just Vumatel dropping ICMP for whatever reason they choose to today (probably that we were all querying elevated latencies there) MTR beyond that looks great so won't affect any traffic.
Unfortunately we're not privy to Vumatel's commercial decisions. Remember, Vumatel does not influence the L3 - so they can't decide local/international splits - that's the ISP's job.
