Who is Atomic Access?

[ghostRgg]

Been trying to find an updated Vumatel coverage map and for some reason this ISP: https://www.atomicaccess.co.za/ has a lot of detailed maps and plans for upcoming installs and includes pre-orders.

Does anybody have information on them or experience?

I've had a good experience so far. I'm on Frogfoot in Milnerton. Some issues with Frogfoot FNO network - not Atomic related, which Atomic support helped me out with a lot to resolve with upstream Frogfoot. I can personally vouch for their engineers' experience, some of the brightest minds in the industry run this network. Approachable real, support is brilliant. Network always has +- 20% available with regards to capacity as they upgrade when links hit 80%. Don't know about Vuma, you must touch base with Nic Super, company rep and MD.

Hi @ghostRgg

The fibre coverage maps are created and maintained by the respective FNO (our Frogfoot map can be a little out of date as that map requires some manual manipulation to make it pretty).

As @lightpixel mentioned we upgrade bandwidth capacity when needed, and once we've finished out current network upgrade project we will look at the Vumatel project again, which will be in the new year.

Thanks for your interest.

I’m updating this thread with an update to share that we (Atomic) recently launched fibre services on the Vumatel fibre network. If you are interested in our Vumatel packages they are listed on our site here, https://www.atomicaccess.co.za/vumatel/ and if you feel like switching (and are in the greater Cape Town or Cape Winelands area) please get in touch for a deal.

We have live customers on Vumatel’s GPON and Active Ethernet networks, and a fun fact that we are running DHCP as opposed to PPPoE

R999 for a 20/20 line. That's a bit rough.

The fees involved with Vumatel on the lower speed lines are quite heavy, was brought up on MYBB: https://mybroadband.co.za/news/fibre/388580-vumatels-high-fibre-prices-under-fire.html

As a small ISP, the line rentals, installation and activation fees make it a bit hard for us, but we've tried to make the faster lines more appealing in terms of price. It's something we will continue to look at though.
