Afrihost Telkom Fixed LTE

[Afrigirl]

Reboot your Telkom Wireless router on the 17th of June 2026??​

​

@Afrigirl did the first change not work so we must do again?​

It is a gradual roll-out throughout the month of June.

Okay great so I've done it once the first time, do I have to do it again tomorrow?

You could check if your IP address is a Telkom or an Afrihost IP address, if its an Afrihost address then you know you have been migrated already.

@Afrigirl can you confirm (or not) if the Telkom Wireless service is location locked?

Hi.
It is not location-locked.

With the move on Telkom Fixed Wireless to a wholesale APN.
Will this mean breakout will only be in JHB and CPT like MTN Fixed Wireless?

Or does Afrihost breakout in DBN as well for Telkom Fixed Wireless?

The reason I ask, this will affect latency, as previously Telkom Directly broke out in multiple locations like DBN, CPT, JHB, etc.

In my experience so far from PE, it only breaks out in JHB, usually direct Telkom breaks out in CPT from PE.

Only Johannesburg and Cape Town. There won't be a Durban breakout for Telkom Fixed Wireless on the wholesale APN, so traffic will only break out via JHB and CPT.
