What is Afrihost on Link Africa?
Link Africa is a long-running open-access fibre operator with infrastructure across multiple Gauteng and coastal suburbs. The company started in business connectivity and expanded into residential, so its backbone tends to be over-engineered for home use. Afrihost on Link Africa means Afrihost handles your account, support and the connection out to the rest of the internet, while Link Africa owns the cable that runs to your premises.
On the consumer side, Link Africa's residential plans through Afrihost are uncapped, unshaped and sold month-to-month, with a free Wi-Fi 6 router included on most tiers. The mature network usually translates to fewer outages and faster fault resolution than newer FNOs.
