What is Afrihost on Netstream?
Netstream is an open-access fibre operator focused on residential rollouts in selected suburbs and complexes - typically as the contracted FNO for specific developments. Afrihost on Netstream means Afrihost handles the customer-facing side (billing, support, upstream traffic) while Netstream owns and runs the physical fibre line into your unit.
Open-access status means you're not stuck with a single ISP on a Netstream line - Afrihost competes against the other Netstream-licensed brands on price, hardware and service. Their plans inherit the standard Afrihost stack: month-to-month, uncapped, unshaped, free Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers.
A comparison of Netstream deals
We track 5 live Netstream packages from Afrihost. Here's how the line-up shapes up.
| Metric | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest line | R527 | 10/10 Mbps · Afrihost |
| Fastest line | 200 Mbps | R1 247/month · Netstream |
| Best value | R6.24/Mbps | 200 Mbps at R1 247 |
| Symmetrical | 5 of 5 | packages upload at download speed |
Netstream's footprint is suburb-specific rather than national - always confirm coverage at your exact address. Where Netstream is the only option, compare Afrihost against Webafrica and MWeb on the same line rather than across networks.

What a year actually costs
Advertised monthly price and 12-month cost of ownership are not the same ranking. Below, every Netstream line on this page over 12 months, with the promo step-up and the once-off fee where the operator publishes one.
| # | Package | Advertised | Reverts to | Once-off | 12-month total | Effective /mo | Rank on cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AfrihostNetstream · 10/10 Mbps | R527 | — | R1 497 | R7 821 | R652+R1 497 vs advertised | 1 |
| 2 | AfrihostNetstream · 20/20 Mbps | R657 | — | R1 497 | R9 381 | R782+R1 497 vs advertised | 2 |
| 3 | AfrihostNetstream · 50/50 Mbps | R797 | — | R1 497 | R11 061 | R922+R1 497 vs advertised | 3 |
| 4 | AfrihostNetstream · 100/100 Mbps | R997 | — | R1 497 | R13 461 | R1 122+R1 497 vs advertised | 4 |
| 5 | AfrihostNetstream · 200/200 Mbps | R1 247 | — | R1 497 | R16 461 | R1 372+R1 497 vs advertised | 5 |
A once-off installation or activation charge is paid once, so it weighs on year one and not on year two. Where a line wins on the advertised rate but loses over twelve months, check how long you expect to keep it, and compare on effective monthly cost rather than on the headline. Next: every ISP's 10 Mbps deals.

The honest verdict
Where this page is the right answer, and where it is not. Both sides are computed from the 5 packages we track here, so they move when the prices do.
Afrihost on Netstream is the right buy if…
- Your address shows Netstream coverageCoverage decides this before price does. We track 5 verified Afrihost packages on Netstream, from R527/mo for 10/10 Mbps Uncapped up to 200 Mbps.
- You want the cheapest seller on this networkNo ISP we track undercuts R527 on Netstream at 10/10 Mbps Uncapped, so the entry line here is the market floor rather than a mid-table price.
- You upload as much as you download5 of the 5 lines here are symmetrical, which matters for video calls, cloud backups and streaming out rather than in.
Who should look elsewhere
- You want more than 200 Mbps200 Mbps is the fastest line we hold a verified price for here, so no amount of comparing on this page gets you a gigabit. That is a different network, not a different package.
- Your address does not show NetstreamThen none of the 5 prices above can help you, and comparing them is wasted effort. Coverage is decided by which network reached your street, not by which ISP you prefer - check the address first, then come back to price.
- You are buying on value per megabit, not on monthly priceThe cheapest line here is not the best value: 10/10 Mbps Uncapped works out at R52.70/Mbps against R6.24/Mbps for 200/200 Mbps Uncapped - 8.5x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget, it buys far more per rand.
