I am on 60G anytime and 60G night data on Telkom with Afrihost using a Huawei B315s-22. Our internet is very very slow that we can’t connect 2 people on Dstv go at the same time. The network is bad and I’m contemplating of switching network providers.
We live in Ebony Park, ext 1. What’s going on with Telkom. Please assist.
Thank you
 
Good morning,

Apologies for the later response.

Telkom uses different frequencies for their LTE. The router you are currently using has limited supported frequencies for the Telkom network so it's not the ideal router to be using. It works but as you have experienced it's not that great.

For Telkom we suggest using the B315s-936 , B525s-65a, B618s-65d

These routers are optimized and ideal for the Telkom network.

I don't see any changes in what you offer from Telkom LTE on your website ; are you aware of, or anticipate any in the near future ?

Reason being, today I noticed the following 2 new packages from Axxess :

80 + 80 GB = R249
120 + 120 GB = R299

Get Capped & Uncapped LTE at affordable prices. Month to Month Billing. No contracts or Credit Checks.

Good pricing for the amount of data offered - compare the past, I have records for (from Axxess as well) :

25th Dec 2020 :
70 + 70 = R399
90 + 90 = R499
120 + 120 = R699

22nd Oct 2021 :
60 + 60 = R 299
90 + 90 = R 399
130 + 130 = R 519
180 + 180 = R 699

Quite a drop in pricing, especially the 120 GB package ; just wondering if you'll soon follow with new prices / packages from Telkom LTE, seeing as (you at) Afrihost own Axxess ?


@Jake45 - the new Axxess packages might be of interest to you, in particular.

Hope something positive comes of it, both from Telkom & MTN.

Even though currently with you on fixed MTN (which is perfectly stable & recovers far faster than Telkom does after load-shedding), with these new Telkom offerings from Axxess :

1. For R50 more, would double my data each month ;

2. For R100 more, triple the data each month ....

before taking into account Anytime-only rollover data from Telkom .... and (also) on Telkom, it isn't strictly "fixed", like MTN is to one address.

Not that I can teach you anything new, but just pointing out why I feel Afrihost should once again consider a price / data allocation adjustment on what's on offer.

Thanks.

Axxess seem to get better Telkom LTE pricing than you do / pass it back on to their customers, for some reason - referring mainly to the 80, 120 & 180 GB packages at this point in time.

Certain packages are significantly cheaper through Axxess, so suggest to double check their website first for capped Telkom LTE products.

Egs. - 80 and 120 GB ones.

We get updates from Telkom via api periodically so it's not live data.

Live data can be obtained from onnet.telkom.co.za when connected from the sim.
