All Webafrica Vuma Reach Packages
Vuma Reach comes in three uncapped tiers via Webafrica. Each plan is contract-free, ships with a built-in Wi-Fi router, and runs on Vumatel's high-availability fibre network. See the full Vuma Wi-Fi price list for every tier Vumatel sells, not just Reach.
Entry-level uncapped - perfect for browsing & HD streaming
Mid-tier uncapped - comfortable for small households
Top Reach tier - multi-device 4K & remote work
Which Reach tier is the best value per megabit?
The entry package is the cheapest to buy and the most expensive way to buy bandwidth. At R429 for 20 Mbps it works out at R21.45 per Mbps against R7.99 on the 100/50 Mbps line - so the top tier buys roughly 2.7× more speed per rand. That does not make the entry tier wrong, it makes it a budget decision rather than a value one.
| Package | Monthly price | Download | Price per Mbps |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20/10 Mbps | R429 | 20 Mbps | R21.45 |
| 40/10 Mbps | R549 | 40 Mbps | R13.72 |
| 100/50 MbpsBest value | R799 | 100 Mbps | R7.99 |
Reach 20/10 Mbps, or Vuma Core 30/30?
From the same seller, on the same operator's network, the Vuma Core 30/30 line advertises at R419 — R10 a month below the 20/10 Mbps Reach package this page is about, and faster and symmetrical with it. On the advert it is the better buy by every measure.
| Metric | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest line | R419 | 30/30 Mbps · Webafrica |
| Fastest line | 1000 Mbps | R1 209/month · Vumatel |
| Best value | R1.21/Mbps | 1000 Mbps at R1 209 |
| Symmetrical | 4 of 11 | packages upload at download speed |
Over a year it is not. The R419 rate is a stated 2-month promotional price that reverts to R519,and the Core line carries a published R249 once-off that the Reach line does not. Billed out: R6 277 for the Core line against R5 148 for the Reach one — R1 129 more for the package with the cheaper sticker. That is the whole argument for the entry Reach line, and it is the only argument for it: it holds its rate from day one and publishes no set-up charge.
Goes to Webafrica, who pay us a commission. The R1 129 figure above is why this line and not the cheaper-looking one — and the 3-seller comparison further down is why you might still buy this tier elsewhere.
What a Webafrica Vuma line costs over one and two years
There are 11 Webafrica Vuma packages in the table above, spread across 2 fibre networks. They are not interchangeable: the cheapest way onto Vumatel is R419 a month, while the same question on Vuma Reach starts at R429. Which networks reach your address is usually decided for you, so the useful comparison is within a network rather than across the whole list.
| Network | Webafrica Vuma packages | Cheapest | Speed | Best R/Mbps, any plan |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vumatel | 8 | R419/mo | 30/30 Mbps | R1.21 |
| Vuma Reach | 3 | R429/mo | 20/10 Mbps | R7.99 |
The last column is the best rand-per-Mbps available anywhere on that network, at any speed — not the unit price of the cheapest line beside it. The two are rarely close, and the gap is the argument against buying on headline price. The entry tier in this segment is R419 for 30 Mbps on Vumatel, which is R13.97 per Mbps; the best unit price in the whole segment is R1.21 per Mbps. Paying a little more for a much faster line is usually the better deal; paying the minimum almost never is.
| Monthly | 12 months | 24 months | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Promotional rate, if it never ended | R419/mo | R5 028 | R10 056 |
| Standing rate after promo | R519/mo | R6 228 | R12 456 |
| Once-off fee | R249 once | R249 | R249 |
| What you actually pay | R523/mo avg | R6 277 | R12 505 |
The first row is the number that gets advertised, and it is the one to ignore. Vumatel is discounted from R519 to R419 for the first 2 months, then steps up by R100 a month — a 24% increase on the rate that sold you the line. Over two years that is R12 505 rather than the R10 056 the headline price implies, which works out at R521 a month rather than R419. Budget on the standing rate and treat the discount as a rebate on the first few months. The totals above include the R249 once-off charge this line carries, but not a router you buy outright. Cancellation terms are the other cost that does not appear in a monthly price: no fixed term is not the same as no cancellation fee, and several ISPs here claw back a waived install if you leave inside six or twelve months.
Looking wider than this segment? Compare every fibre deal we track puts the full catalogue in one sortable table, and the cheapest fibre deals ranks the whole market on price and rand-per-Mbps rather than within one network.
What R399 a month buys today
The R399 Reach promo is history, but the budget is not. Across the 684 monthly-billed packages we track, 27 lines from 7 ISPs on 12 networks still retail at or below R399 a month. Here they are, ranked by what they advertise and again by what a year of each one actually costs.
The cheapest advertised line in the band is RSAweb · Octotel 100/100 at R99 a month - and over twelve months it is the 26th cheapest of the 27 lines in the band, because that rate runs for a stated promotional window and then reverts. The line that actually costs least to own for a year is Accelerit 10/10: R293 a month and R3 565 over the year, against R8 898 for the one with the cheaper sticker - a gap of R5 333 on a line that looks R194 a month dearer.

The same Reach line is sold by 3 ISPs
20/10 Mbps on Vuma Reach is the identical physical line whoever bills you for it. Monthly rates we hold: Afrihost at R417, Webafrica at R429, Mweb at R449. Webafrica, whose deals this page lists, is 2 of 3 on that tier — R12 a month above Afrihost, or R144 over a year before once-off charges. If the entry tier is what you want and the cheapest monthly rate is what matters, start at Afrihost on Vuma Reach. Webafrica does win the top of the ladder: its 100/50 line at R799 is R48 a month under Afrihost. Prices checked 9 November 2026; pre-paid passes are excluded because a pass is priced per pass, not per month.

Vuma Reach Questions
Everything prospective customers ask before signing up for the entry Vuma Reach deal - including what happened to the R399 price.
Where a Vuma Reach line is right, and where it is not
Both sides are computed from the 11 packages this page tracks, so they move when the prices do.
A Vuma line from this page is the right buy if…
- You are buying on monthly priceThe cheapest genuinely-monthly line we track is 30/30 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel from Webafrica at R419/mo. That is the floor of this pool, not a mid-table price.
- You are buying on value per megabit1000/250 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel from Webafrica works out at R1.21/Mbps against R13.97/Mbps for the cheapest line - the best rand-per-megabit in this pool at R1 209/mo.
- You upload as much as you download4 of the 11 monthly lines here are symmetrical, from R419/mo for 30/30 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel. Matched upload is what video calls, cloud backups and streaming out depend on.
Who should look elsewhere
- Your address has no fibre yetEvery price on this page is conditional on one of these 2 networks having reached your street, and that is decided by the trench outside, not by which ISP you prefer. Check coverage at the address first - if nothing shows, this page cannot help you and a fixed-wireless or LTE line is the comparison to run instead.
- You are judging on the headline price alone30/30 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel from Webafrica advertises R419/mo, but that rate runs for 2 months and then bills R519 - a jump of R100/mo, the steepest in this pool. 8 of the 11 lines here step up the same way. Compare what a line costs over two years, not what it costs in month one.
- You have budgeted the monthly but not the once-off8 of the 11 monthly lines here carry a stated once-off charge - typically R249, and as much as R249 on 1000/250 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel. It lands on the first invoice, so a line that is a few rand cheaper every month can still cost more over the first year. The rest publish no figure at all, which is not the same as free.
- You want a gigabit on an entry-line budgetThe cheapest gigabit we hold a verified price for is 1000/250 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel from Webafrica at R1 209/mo - 2.9x the cheapest line on this page. No amount of comparing closes that gap; it is a different product, not a better deal.
- You assume the cheapest line is the best valueIt is not. 20/10 Mbps Uncapped on Vuma Reach works out at R21.45/Mbps against R1.21/Mbps for 1000/250 Mbps Uncapped on Vumatel - 17.7x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget at all, it buys far more per rand.
