Maybe move to LTE for a month then come back as a “new customer”. You might get treated better.

Anyone else had issues on Afrihost (and Frogfoot) connecting to any urls or connections using a custom port?

I am at my wits end after numerous calls with Afrihost support who troubleshoot by having me reset my fibre router a million times and connect directly to the ONT. No issues until moving into my new place and no issues using mobile data. Only experience the issue accessing the sites/connections with port numbers on Afrihost/Frogfoot fibre. Asked for my IP to be refreshed because thought that might be the issue but despite a call logged with Frogfoot, this seemingly was never done
