Vuma core vs Reach,

I am a Vuma reach subscriber since day 1. I am lucky to be on the highest package available. The main use of internet goes to online gaming. My problem is with the contention ratios. Currently I am paying more or less the same as a vume core client, but receiving a poorer service. Please help me understand, paying the same as core but gets a sub par service. The other issues, you can't upgrade your speed either, why? Its clear that Vumatel took aoafe out of Multichoice's book, high price, poor quality.

Streaming is fine, but when it comes to gaming, the network is lagging bigtime.

Good day, Ashley.

I know you’re on our highest Reach package and you expected better performance. You’re right, Reach wasn’t built as a gaming-first product. If Core is available, that’s the real fix. If not, I’ll look at every other option we have to improve this for you. Appreciate you sticking with us since day 1. 

Kind regards, 
The Vuma Team

I have been gaming on reach and had no issues. This all started after they did a migration a few weeks ago. What I dont get is why you cant upgrade. That is also a major issue. Regardless if  reach is an inferior product, why the same price as core, but they get the better service?

I am not the only one complaining in our area, butI am only here to fix my issues.  Hopefully it sorts out all issues.  That is also a major issue.
