Does Afrihost's capped accounts work on Telkom Fibre?

When I enter the Afrihost details into the Netgear the light stays red.

Afrihost data only works with ADSL unless you get the fibre package which is different to the ADSL package.

Incorrect - They do work. It says so on their website.

FAQ

Can I use my existing Afrihost DSL Data on Telkom Fibre?
Yes you can! Simply enter your Afrihost details into your new Fibre modem and you're ready to go.

I am currently using an Afrihost account with 600GB of data on a Telkom 100Mbps fibre line.


@OP: Your account might be locked to an ADSL number. Phone them to get it unlocked so you can dial it on the fibre line.

Our data packages work on Telkom fibre.
If you have an Uncapped account you'll probably have to get the CLID updated.

I am running with 100GB+100GB with free uncapped night time data on my 10Mbps telkom fibre line.

Working like a dream.

Had some ping spikes when playing games, but I believe this is my ****ty router. So I can't blame Afrihost until I try a different router.

Hi AfriGuy

I have a Telkom 10mbps + 100GB FTTH package. Can I use Afrihost capped data bundle on this account after my Telkom data runs out? So far it does not seem to work.

You can indeed :)
You just need to update your routers details, putting in your Afrihost DSL details.

Hey Afriguy,

Do I have to get a telkom line with data or is it possible just to get the line and all the data from Afrihost?

From what I'm aware, Telkom only sell bundled options. May be best to confirm with Telkom directly though.
We're still finalising our fibre offerings so you'll soon be able to do everything through us :)
