What is Afrihost on Vuma Reach?
Vuma Reach is Vumatel's purpose-built affordable fibre network, designed specifically to bring uncapped home connectivity into townships and lower-income suburbs at price points that don't exist on the standard Vumatel network. Afrihost on Vuma Reach means Afrihost is the customer-facing ISP doing the billing and support, while Vuma Reach owns and runs the cable into the home.
The packages are deliberately leaner - fewer speed tiers, lower headline numbers, but real fibre performance instead of fixed-wireless workarounds. Afrihost's Vuma Reach plans are uncapped and unshaped, and Vuma Reach is the one network where Afrihost waives the standard R999 early-cancellation fee.
A comparison of Vuma Reach deals
We track 3 live Vuma Reach packages from Afrihost. Here's how the line-up shapes up.
| Metric | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest line | R417 | 20/10 Mbps · Afrihost |
| Fastest line | 100 Mbps | R847/month · Vuma Reach |
| Best value | R8.47/Mbps | 100 Mbps at R847 |
| Symmetrical | 0 of 3 | packages upload at download speed |
Vuma Reach speeds top out lower than standard Vumatel, but the price per month is dramatically lower too. If your suburb has both Vuma Reach and Vumatel coverage, Reach makes sense for households on entry-level usage; switch up to standard Vumatel if you've got multiple streamers or remote workers.

What a year actually costs
Advertised monthly price and 12-month cost of ownership are not the same ranking. Below, every Vuma Reach line on this page over 12 months, with the promo step-up and the once-off fee where the operator publishes one.
| # | Package | Advertised | Reverts to | Once-off | 12-month total | Effective /mo | Rank on cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AfrihostVuma Reach · 20/10 Mbps | R417 | — | R0 | R5 004 | R417 | 1 |
| 2 | AfrihostVuma Reach · 40/10 Mbps | R537 | — | R0 | R6 444 | R537 | 2 |
| 3 | AfrihostVuma Reach · 100/50 Mbps | R847 | — | R0 | R10 164 | R847 | 3 |
A once-off installation or activation charge is paid once, so it weighs on year one and not on year two. Where a line wins on the advertised rate but loses over twelve months, check how long you expect to keep it, and compare on effective monthly cost rather than on the headline. Next: every ISP's 20 Mbps deals.

The honest verdict
Where this page is the right answer, and where it is not. Both sides are computed from the 3 packages we track here, so they move when the prices do.
Afrihost on Vuma Reach is the right buy if…
- Your address shows Vuma Reach coverageCoverage decides this before price does. We track 3 verified Afrihost packages on Vuma Reach, from R417/mo for 20/10 Mbps Uncapped up to 100 Mbps.
- You want the cheapest seller on this networkNo ISP we track undercuts R417 on Vuma Reach at 20/10 Mbps Uncapped, so the entry line here is the market floor rather than a mid-table price.
Who should look elsewhere
- You need a matched upload speedNot one of the 3 lines we track here is symmetrical - uploads top out at 50 Mbps. If you push large files up, look at a network that sells matched tiers.
- You want more than 100 Mbps100 Mbps is the fastest line we hold a verified price for here, so no amount of comparing on this page gets you a gigabit. That is a different network, not a different package.
- Your address does not show Vuma ReachThen none of the 3 prices above can help you, and comparing them is wasted effort. Coverage is decided by which network reached your street, not by which ISP you prefer - check the address first, then come back to price.
- You are buying on value per megabit, not on monthly priceThe cheapest line here is not the best value: 20/10 Mbps Uncapped works out at R20.85/Mbps against R8.47/Mbps for 100/50 Mbps Uncapped - 2.5x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget, it buys far more per rand.
