What is Afrihost on Evotel?
Evotel is one of the few fibre network operators that has prioritised the Free State, Northern Cape and smaller inland towns instead of fighting for metro market share. If you're in Bloemfontein, Welkom, Kimberley or surrounding towns and you can get fibre at all, there's a good chance the line is Evotel. Afrihost on Evotel means Afrihost is your ISP - they handle billing, support and the upstream link - while Evotel runs and maintains the cable into your home.
Because Evotel built into less-contested areas, install timelines are often faster than the metros and the line itself tends to be quieter (less local congestion). Afrihost's Evotel plans keep their standard formula: no contract, no shaping, free Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers.
