Questions about Afrihost

[ccrause]

I am considering applying for an OpenServe connection and would like to clarify the following:
1. Can I use my existing router connected to a simple ONT? The router has some custom settings I want to preserve.
2. Can I customize the free TP-Link router myself (fixed IPs for clients, NAT tables etc.)?
3. Can I pay as I go (i.e. no debit order required)?

Yes you can use your own router

2. Can I customize the free TP-Link router myself (fixed IPs for clients, NAT tables etc.)?

No. Debit order or Card payment only. It is month to month, not PAYG. If you want PAYG you can get Vuma Reach Prepaid. If you make an EFT before the 28th then the debit wont run, that is how I pay mine.

Any other ISP that does not require a debit order? My rule of thumb is that anything you cannot just walk away from has the potential to generate entropy for me. I would rather pay up front for the connection fee, than give another entity the right to take money from my account.

You can use a debit/credit card and just remove it as a payment option.

They all do these days. Cash payments just creates a lot of admin so they all switched to other methods.
