Vumatel IP address & ASN guide
Vumatel builds and runs fibre to homes but does not sell internet access directly. You choose an ISP — Afrihost, Cool Ideas, Webafrica, Vodacom, MTN and many others — and that ISP gives you your IP address. Vumatel’s own AS328829 is small and is used for Vumatel’s infrastructure, not for customer browsing.
