MWeb on Vumatel 2026

Every price above is a monthly figure and most are promotional. MWeb discounts its Vuma range for the opening months and then bills the standing rate, so the number on the advert is not the number you live with. The figure below ranks the same pool twice over — as advertised, and as it actually bills.

Over 24 months the promotional months barely register and the standing rate is almost the whole bill, which reorders the table again. This is the view that counts if you are not planning to move.

Vumatel is a wholesale network, so MWeb is not selling a different line from its rivals — it is selling the same physical fibre with a different bill attached. Identical FNO, identical speed pair, and the only variable is the ISP.

Of the 11 speed pairs sold across the Vuma footprint, MWeb competes on 10. It has the cheapest advertised price on none of them, and the cheapest twelve-month cost on none. That is the bluntest finding on any of these combination pages, and it is the one the data supports: on Vuma, MWeb is not the cheapest way onto any tier it sells, on either measure.

The sharpest case is 1000/250 Mbps. MWeb advertises R1 489/month against RSAweb’s R699/month. Costed over twelve months it is R19 068 against R15 148, so the identical line costs R3 920 more through MWeb over the first year.

And a gap worth naming, because a comparison that only lists what MWeb sells is not a comparison. MWeb does not sell 1000/500 Mbps on the Vuma footprint at all: RSAweb at R1 899, Vox at R2 150, Afrihost at R2 497.

Right for you if…

• Vuma Reach is what is live at your address — Reach and core are not interchangeable, and which one reaches your street is decided by Vumatel’s build rather than by your budget. MWeb sells both, which keeps the choice in one place.
• Value per megabit is what you are buying — 1000/250 Mbps at R1 489 works out to R1.49/Mbps, against R22.45/Mbps on 20/10 Mbps.
• You want the router and the terms included — a free-to-use managed router, uncapped and unshaped traffic, and month-to-month billing once any promotional term has run.

Look elsewhere if…

• Price is your first criterion, on any tier — MWeb is not the cheapest seller on a single contested Vuma tier over twelve months. If the lowest bill is what you are optimising for, the per-tier winners in the table above are the place to start, not this page.
• You want 30/30 Mbps — Vox costs R5 718 over twelve months against MWeb’s R5 852, a difference of R134 for the identical physical line.
• You want 50/50 Mbps — Vox costs R8 680 over twelve months against MWeb’s R9 588, a difference of R908 for the identical physical line.
• You want 100/50 Mbps — Webafrica costs R9 588 over twelve months against MWeb’s R10 068, a difference of R480 for the identical physical line.
• You want 100/100 Mbps — RSAweb costs R10 348 over twelve months against MWeb’s R12 108, a difference of R1 760 for the identical physical line.
• You want 500/200 Mbps — RSAweb costs R13 848 over twelve months against MWeb’s R15 588, a difference of R1 740 for the identical physical line.
• You want 1000/250 Mbps — RSAweb costs R15 148 over twelve months against MWeb’s R19 068, a difference of R3 920 for the identical physical line.
• You want 1000/500 Mbps — MWeb does not sell this tier on Vuma at all, so no promotion closes this gap.
• Your address shows neither Vuma product — then none of the prices above can help you. Coverage is decided by which network reached your street, not by which ISP you prefer. Start at the fibre coverage map instead.
• You are buying the entry tier purely on monthly price — 20/10 Mbps is the worst rand-per-megabit on MWeb’s own Vuma ladder at R22.45/Mbps. That is this site’s own differentiator metric arguing against its own cheapest row, and one rung up usually buys far more line per rand.

If a cheaper seller on the same line is what you are after, Vuma fibre deals ranks every ISP on the network, and compare fibre deals puts every network beside it.
