What is Afrihost on Metrofibre?
MetroFibre runs two adjacent residential networks - Metro Nexus (complexes and higher-density suburbs) and Metro Nova (newer freestanding-home rollouts). Together they cover a serious chunk of Gauteng plus pockets in Cape Town, Durban and East London. Afrihost on MetroFibre means Afrihost is your ISP and MetroFibre is the wholesale operator running the line, with Nexus or Nova determined by your address.
MetroFibre's headline feature is symmetric speeds across most tiers - your upload matches your download, which matters if you're working from home, hosting video calls or pushing big cloud backups. Afrihost wraps the line in their usual no-contract, uncapped, unshaped deal with a free TP-Link Wi-Fi 6 router on most plans.

We track 14 live Metrofibre packages from Afrihost. Here's how the line-up shapes up.
| Metric | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest line | R527 | 30/30 Mbps · Afrihost |

| Best value | R1.45/Mbps | 1000 Mbps at R1 447 |
| Symmetrical | 12 of 14 | packages upload at download speed |
Pricing is identical across Nexus and Nova through Afrihost - your address dictates which one you can buy. The 100/100 Mbps line is the sweet spot for most homes; the symmetric upload makes it punch above the asymmetric equivalent on Openserve.
