Also had no issues when switching over to an Axxess account last night, at least I know there's a backup when required. Will ride this out with CISP for a little while longer as I'm not keen on ISP hopping.

I feel you, I am also not in the mood to hop ISPs and potentially go through hell by waiting in the openserve holding pool for migration
 
Which prepaid accounts work on Openserve ? I tried my Afrihost 1GB Free and the Interwebz she says NO.

Do ADSL accounts work on other fibre providers too or only on OS?

OS only because as mentioned they run their Fibre Network on the existing DSL infrastructure. You won't be able to use a DSL account on any other fibre providers network

Even Prepaid data ? I'm not talking about month to month data ( eg. 100GB for R80/pm ). I'm talking buying a 100GB prepaid for instance - once its used its used...

I bought 100GB from Afrihost and that worked for me, even their uncapped account worked before I cancelled with Afrihost. Also on the Afrihost portal you will see your B number when using their account

OK thanks - i guess the Free account ( 1GB ) is excluded from this - because I tried it the other night, but after entering the Afrihost creds on my router - i had no internet access

Yeah the free one won't work as when you request they tie it to your DSL number

Isn't the afrihost free 1gb accounts locked to a specific phone number? Thats what I recall when I signed up for it. You may need to ask them to lock it to your FTTH B* number. (if on openserve ftth)

Could be, but thats fine - I just wanted to use it the other night when i was testing the OS slow upload issue i had. Thanks for the tip though !

EDIT: Asked them and the 1GB free cannot be bound to the Fibre line at all - only the paid data packages

Not sure about that but just get the cheapest R29 account from axxess, it rolls over for 3 months.
 
My brother signed up two days ago is there any way he can get the black Friday promo?
