Afrihost Free Internet

Hi,
I applied for a Afrihost free account mid january but didn't hear anything from them yet?
And on their website there are no sign of any free accounts anymore! so i guess there are no more free internet?

There is no such thing as free internet, not in SA at least. Heck you even have to pay for the Wifi connection at Mugg & Bean.

If they were offering some kind of free internet service, there would've been a catch somewhere.

although i just use it for browsing in case mweb goes down.

I see, so it's "free, but very little, limited internet". Ha

yes its free and limited. but that's still fine for basic browsing in an emergency.

create a PPOE connection using the provided credentials...
>Network & Sharing>New connection or network>Connect to the internet>Broadband PPOE...
or modify the credentials on your router... (don't do this if you're unsure...)

i did do that but i get an error witch states my modem has reported an error.....

you've made sure that the credentials you've captured are those for the ADSL and not your account... the passwords differ...
