Which isp on Vumatel?

With your setup , I'd suggest disabling the D50's ADSL dialup, and connecting the WAN port to the CPE. You wouldn't need to use the supplied WR840N.
 
I think I will go this route I have no need for another router.

So the router connects directly to the CPE? is there no device between that?
 
Speed tests from Cybersmart 20/20.. don't always get the max. Granted Seacom is down so who knows how this will change.

C-FIBRE 100/100 VUMATEL
 
How is the C-FIBRE on Vumatel. Thinking of using them since they don't charge any upfront/startup costs.

Do you homework and get other people's experiences. For me, my next ISP is either CrystalWeb or CoolIdeas.

I went with Web Africa, which seemed like a good idea at the time. Did not pay for installation-R1710, activation-R999 and got up to 2 months free. Then comes the small print, you need to stick with them for 12 months, which is not a biggie if they deliver what you pay for. Web Africa currently do not, my international speeds are horrendous and this has been dragging on for 2 weeks. They now want to charge me a penalty if I leave, management are considering my case.
 
If you enjoy pain, frustration and all those associated gems that go with it, I recommend Web Africa with all of my being. Getting 5% - 10% of what you pay for is normal, their upstream provider network is apparently purring.

Still have not responded to me why I get significantly better performance in the morning than the evening...
