What I do not like about their method of installation, is the fact that cables are positioned from the electricity poles/lines to your property . I also have an apartment in Mowbray and it would have meant 3 block having a line from the electric pole and then from flat to flat, mid-air. Reminds me of Hong Kong or a township where you see lines from building to building in their mass. Not good. I would hate to think all neighbours in our street having lines hanging mid-air to their properties plus a further cable running down your building also . Might be concealed to some degree on the building but def. not mid-air from electric poles to properties.
I went onto the MWEB optic fibre solution website last night and I think they have possibly a much better option . will phone them and see how they connect one. . Same price as Vumatel. Once off payment for installation cost of R1780 plus they supply you with a R500 fibre router.

I had the same enquiry regarding mweb and have received no further correspondence! For the moment also sticking to the 10meg which fades to 2 at best when the wind blows and it gets entangled in neighboring tree branches!

I logged an 'express your interest' on their website and co-incidentally they had door-to-door people visiting our street a couple of weeks after the village meeting. They were clearly guns for hire but polite, knowledgeable and what you'd expect. I mentioned I'd like to use Mweb and they said "sure, no problem". I was browing the offers on their site and I noticed there was no Mweb option so I sent them a mail. Long story short, I sent 5 mails to which I had one reply "we'll be in touch..." and still nada. Perhaps they're overwhelmed by the interest but I'm not buying it. If this is an indicator of the level of their service then, thanks, but i'll stick with my 10MBPS copper line or wait for someone who has capacity to deliver the level of service they are promising.
