What is Afrihost on Comtel?
Comtel is a regional open-access fibre operator with coverage concentrated in specific Gauteng and Mpumalanga suburbs, plus selected estates further afield. Afrihost on Comtel means Afrihost handles your billing, support and upstream traffic while Comtel runs and maintains the physical fibre line into your home.
Comtel's value is in the suburbs the bigger FNOs skipped - if your address shows Comtel coverage and nothing else, Afrihost is one of the most established ISPs you can pair with it. You still get the standard Afrihost no-contract terms, free Wi-Fi 6 router and uncapped, unshaped lines.
