What is Afrihost on DNAtel?
DNAtel is a smaller open-access fibre network operator focused on selected residential and complex environments where it has been contracted to provide the in-suburb infrastructure. With Afrihost on DNAtel, Afrihost is the customer-facing ISP - billing, support, the connection to the wider internet - and DNAtel owns the cable from the street into your unit.
DNAtel pricing through Afrihost mirrors the standard Afrihost residential menu: uncapped, unshaped, month-to-month, with a free Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers. The R5 000 setup credit available on bigger networks usually applies here too on new installs.

What a year actually costs
Advertised monthly price and 12-month cost of ownership are not the same ranking. Below, every DNAtel line on this page over 12 months, with the promo step-up and the once-off fee where the operator publishes one.
| # | Package | Advertised | Reverts to | Once-off | 12-month total | Effective /mo | Rank on cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AfrihostDNATel · 10/10 Mbps | R597 | — | R997 | R8 161 | R680+R997 vs advertised | 1 |

A once-off installation or activation charge is paid once, so it weighs on year one and not on year two. Where a line wins on the advertised rate but loses over twelve months, check how long you expect to keep it, and compare on effective monthly cost rather than on the headline. Next: every ISP's 10 Mbps deals.

The honest verdict
Where this page is the right answer, and where it is not. Both sides are computed from the 6 packages we track here, so they move when the prices do.
Afrihost on DNAtel is the right buy if…
- Your address shows DNAtel coverageCoverage decides this before price does. We track 6 verified Afrihost packages on DNAtel, from R597/mo for 10/10 Mbps Uncapped up to 500 Mbps.
- You upload as much as you download6 of the 6 lines here are symmetrical, which matters for video calls, cloud backups and streaming out rather than in.
Who should look elsewhere
- Price is the only thing that matters to youMweb sells 10/10 Mbps Uncapped on DNAtel for R489 - R108/mo less than the cheapest line on this page. Over 24 months that is R2 592.
- You want more than 500 Mbps500 Mbps is the fastest line we hold a verified price for here, so no amount of comparing on this page gets you a gigabit. That is a different network, not a different package.
- Your address does not show DNAtelThen none of the 6 prices above can help you, and comparing them is wasted effort. Coverage is decided by which network reached your street, not by which ISP you prefer - check the address first, then come back to price.
- You are buying on value per megabit, not on monthly priceThe cheapest line here is not the best value: 10/10 Mbps Uncapped works out at R59.70/Mbps against R2.69/Mbps for 500/500 Mbps Uncapped - 22.2x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget, it buys far more per rand.
