More about LTE-A.
What is LTE-A?
LTE-A stands for LTE-Advanced and is more reliable and delivers true 4G speeds. LTE-A is 2-3x faster than regular LTE.
What speeds can I expect?
The MTN Network averages up to 10-150Mbps. Telkom's Network averages up to 20-40Mbps.
Average speeds remain device and coverage dependent and are determined by the external environment around your home and where the router is situated in your home.
Can I use this LTE service anywhere?
The Fixed LTE service is designed to be used at your home, and the SIM card will be locked to the location you provide and your Fixed LTE services will only work at this location.
General.
Do I need to sign up for a contract?
No! At Afrihost, we don't lock you into outlandish contractual commitments. All our packages are month-to-month and can be easily cancelled if you change your mind.
What happens if I sign up in the middle of the month?
All Fixed LTE packages are charged pro-rata. Data will also be allocated pro-rata.
For example, if you sign up halfway through the month you will pay half the price and receive half the data for the rest of the month.
How long does it take to activate after delivery?
Your SIM card should be active within 30 minutes after delivery. In extreme cases it can take up to 48 hours, but this is highly unlikely. Should you have trouble connecting after 30 minutes, please reboot your device and try to connect again. Please contact our Support team if you do not have a connection after 48 hours.
