What is Afrihost on Route?
Route is an open-access fibre operator with focused residential coverage in specific suburbs and developments. Afrihost on Route is the standard arrangement: Afrihost is the customer-facing ISP that handles billing, support and the upstream connection, while Route owns and runs the physical fibre line.
Multiple ISPs resell on Route, so Afrihost competes on price and value-add (free router, R5 000 setup credit on new installs, no contract). For most addresses where Route is available, Afrihost is one of the more established options to pair with it.
