Vumatel has emerged as an innovative and flexible infrastructure provider within the fibre to the home (FTTH) market, with a focus on integration into the heart of the local communities which it serves.  Parktown North enjoys the enviable position of being the second suburb to be succesfully rolled-out, next to Parkhurst.

Importantly for the residents of Parktown North, Vumatel’s fibre network operates on a truly open-access basis, thereby allowing all Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to utilise the fibre lines into customers’ premises on the back of Vumatel’s investment.  In essence, Parktown North residents now benefit greatly from increased choice of potential service providers, resulting in competitive pricing on a wide range of offers comprising broadband data, voice, video and other content services in the future.  Most ISPs are providing month-to-month internet packages in Parkhurst, and residents in Parktown North enjoys similar service offerings.

Lee-Ann Louverdis, Chairperson of the PNRA notes that “the community will enjoy the benefits arising from greater choice and competitive ISP service offerings – both of which will undoubtedly improve the desirability of living in Parktown North.  This bodes well for real estate values in our suburb.”
