Afrihost has launched new fixed-LTE packages<\/strong><\/a> that run on MTN’s network.<\/p>\n

The packages are called Afrihost Pure LTE, and the ISP is offering one month of free usage on a range of SIM-only and SIM + device deals.<\/p>\n

The packages come with both anytime and nighttime data allocations.<\/p>\n

Afrihost also offers several fixed-LTE packages which run on Telkom’s network.<\/p>\n

Aside from data allocation and pricing, there are two notable differences between MTN and Telkom’s offerings.<\/p>\n

To ensure optimal network stability, MTN’s fixed-LTE can only be used with an approved router.<\/p>\n

MTN’s list includes the Huawei B525, B612, B618, and ZTE MF286.<\/p>\n

Additionally, MTN’s night data is valid from midnight to 06:00, while Telkom subscribers can consume their night data allocation between midnight and 07:00.<\/p>\n

Head-to-head<\/h3>\n

The table below compares the monthly prices of Afrihost’s SIM-only packages on MTN and Telkom.<\/p>\n

The first data allocation shown is for anytime use, while the equivalent night data allocation is the second amount shown.<\/p>\n
