I spoke too soon. It came on briefly and died again.

Yeah mine isn't working yet. I'm sure that Afrihost's technician will arrive at where the problem is soon. He first had to get breakfast at Wimpy.

Afrihost mobile and DSL downtime

Afrihost says that it has resolved authentication issues with its mobile data and DSL network, which affected users on Saturday morning.

I can confirm it's back up for me

"Mobile Clients still experiencing problems should turn off their MiFi or put their mobile device into airplane mode for 30-60 seconds and then reconnect."

This may help.

 

[Moshidi]

Back up and running

Just came back up here as well.

Afrigirl. Please inform the top bosses. That the users want a "Bigger Capped" account.

10gig+10gig is not bad, but there are users that own LTE Modems and 10gig is just too little.


Maybe 20+20gig special or 50+50 for the Higher end users ?



To the Public, Please confirm if you would be interested in a similar package like i suggested above.

/raises hand.

I need a new battery for my Mifi device. Only lasts 2 hours on a full charge.

Where can I get a new one?

I'm not sure to what extent this is covered under the warranty, I imagine a measure of battery life degradation is to be expected over time. Can you drop me a PM and I'll check on what our policy is on this?

Otherwise, you should be able to purchase one at any Huawei device retailer (like a cellular shop).

Would also like to know if it is perhaps covered under warranty. Mine doesn't even last 30min.

I bought a new battery from here - http://www.dx.com/p/genuine-hb4f1-c...ah-li-ion-battery-for-huawei-e585-e5830-70554

Back to 4-5 hours of usage.

How long did you wait for delivery ?

 

[chickenbeef]

I didn't need it urgently because my original battery still lasts about 3 hours so I took the free delivery option. It took 6 weeks to get here.

Hi, I'm new here, bought a mifi device (huawei E5331) from a colleague at work and received my Afrihost sim on monday last week.

I live in Ottery, Cape Town and my data speeds have been extremely poor. I've checked the coverage map and i am covered for 3G.

But the best i get is 2G speeds

Yesterday morning for about 5 mins i was able to get 9MB download with a 59ms ping... but it lasted just 5 mins...

Please help me... or i'll have to cancel

Was so looking fwd to being connected but this coverage.... meh

If connect to the management page on your device, is everything else set correctly? Like APN? Also, what does it say for Network Selection: Auto, 2G or 3G?
