Kind Regards The Vumatel Team Johan Oosthuizen Local Guide·6 reviews 3 minutes ago NEW Vuma, why would you ever partner with a installer like Britelink MCT? Based on their reviews, their service record is shocking, and today I had to learn that the hard way.

I confirmed installation with their offices almost 2 weeks ago. Part of the process was confirming my address, which according to the emails from them, corresponds to the address that they have for me.

Your Vumatel technicians came out earlier than expected to do the fibre installation and offered great service. When they were done, they said that Britelink would be coming out to splice and finish the installation, as well as help with activation. I soon after got a call from the Britelink technician, which turns out he was at the wrong address. I sent him the correct address(same one that was confirmed vie email almost 2 weeks prior), and waited for him to arrive.

He never did, and after 5 hours of waiting for him, I messaged to find out what was happening, only for him to tell me that they don't do installations in the area and I need to take it up with my ISP.

Now I have no internet connection anymore, as the first technicians removed the existing fibre connections, and no idea when my installation is going to be fixed.

Also have had no communication from Britelink, and can't get through to them via phone and nobody responds to emails.

Just a terrible experience so far, and at this time I definitely can't recommend Vumatel to anyone, even if the fault isn't necessarily directly with you.

Reviewer Update
I'm not sure why I had to share all of the above details as I still haven't had any further communication from anyone at Vumatel. I have also sent a mail to *** as requested on Google, but have yet to receive a response. Been almost a week sine my installation was supposed to be completed, but I haven't even received a single call or mail to notify me of how or when this will be resolved. I also had a working connection before, but the Vumatel technician that was here to start the installation removed the working ONT to install the new one. Now I've had nothing for almost a week. Thanks Vumatel! This service is shocking.
