What is Afrihost on Linklayer?
Linklayer is an open-access fibre operator that focuses almost exclusively on secure estates and complex environments - places where the operator can run the in-development infrastructure end-to-end and offer it to multiple ISPs. Afrihost on Linklayer means Afrihost is the customer-facing ISP doing your billing and support, and Linklayer is the wholesale operator running the cable inside your estate.
Estate-only deployment usually means cleaner installs and fewer civil-works headaches than street-level networks. Afrihost layers their standard offer on top: no contract, uncapped, unshaped, free Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers.
