What is Afrihost on Lightstruck?
Lightstruck is a niche open-access fibre operator that has built into specific residential developments - usually estates where the developer signed an exclusivity or joint deal during the build phase. Afrihost on Lightstruck is the standard split: Afrihost is the customer-facing ISP, Lightstruck is the wholesale operator that owns and maintains the line.
Because Lightstruck builds out one development at a time, the in-estate infrastructure is often newer and less congested than long-running metro networks. Afrihost layers their no-contract, uncapped, unshaped offering on top, with a free Wi-Fi 6 router on most plans.
