What is Afrihost on Vuma?
Vumatel is the largest residential open-access fibre network in South Africa, with deep coverage across Joburg, Cape Town, Durban and a growing list of secondary cities. Vuma Reach is the same group's affordable product, purpose-built for townships and lower-income suburbs at lower price points. Choose Afrihost on Vuma and Afrihost is your contracted ISP - billing, support, upstream - while Vumatel or Vuma Reach owns and runs the physical line.
Vumatel's headline appeal is reach: if your suburb has fibre at all, there's a strong chance Vumatel is one of the FNOs there. Afrihost wraps that line in a no-contract, uncapped, unshaped deal with a free TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers and a R5 000 setup credit on new installs (Vuma Reach is excluded from the R999 cancellation fee).
