    Vumatel: the country's biggest fibre network

    Vumatel has passed more than two million homes, the largest fibre footprint of any single network in South Africa, concentrated in metro suburbs.

    That scale is why Vumatel is the line most suburban households end up comparing first (the network-size rankings are tracked by Telecoms Channel). One thing to keep on your radar: Vumatel changed its pricing from 1 April 2026 and lifted some line speeds at no extra cost around the same time (covered by Atomic), so the figure you saw last year may have moved.

    Check what's live at your street on our MWeb coverage page before you settle on a tier.

    Core vs Reach

    Two Vuma lines, one network

    Vuma core

    The standard Vumatel product in established suburbs. Symmetrical lines (matching up/down) at speeds up to 1 Gbps, with MWeb listing 100/100 Mbps at around R1,059/month and 200/200 around R1,209.

    Vuma Reach

    Vumatel's affordable line for value-focused and township areas. Often asymmetric and available prepaid, with MWeb's 40/20 Mbps from roughly R569/month and 100/50 around R869.

    Same network, same line quality

    Both run on Vumatel's infrastructure. The difference is footprint and price tier, not reliability - pick on what's live at your address and what you'll pay.

    Uncapped, unshaped

    Every MWeb Vumatel plan is fully uncapped with no fair-use throttling and no traffic prioritisation against streaming or gaming.

    Prices above are indicative and reflect figures MWeb has listed on its Vumatel and Vuma Reach pages; they move with promotions and the April 2026 change. The live table and MWeb's own page carry the current price for your address.

    Compare

    Vumatel or another network?

    If both Vumatel and Openserve are live on your street, compare them on price for the speed you need - the line quality is comparable. MWeb on Openserve is often cheaper at the same tier, while Vumatel sometimes reaches faster top speeds. The full MWeb line-up is on the main MWeb fibre page, and you can pit MWeb against other ISPs on best fibre deals.
