Telkom network changes and effects.

Hi @Afrigirl we use the unrestricted APN on a lot of our clients LTE routers, will they be impacted at all?

Thanks.

Hi.

Hi.

APN has not changed as of yet. "unrestricted, internet, Telkom or afrihost" should still work

Please drop me a DM with the Telkom account details.

Hi,

My apologies for the confusion. I've since received confirmation from our NOC team.

All users on the Afrihost APN are assigned IP addresses from Telkom's private IP range (typically starting with 100.x.x.x) and are therefore behind CGNAT. Telkom only provides a single IP allocation pool for this APN, which means public IP addresses are not available on the service.

Please also note that changing the APN name or using a different APN configuration will not result in a public IP address being assigned. Regardless of the APN used, connections will still receive a private IP address from Telkom's network.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.
