What is Afrihost on Thinkspeed?
Thinkspeed is an open-access fibre network operator that has rolled out into selected residential and complex environments - typically suburbs and estates where Thinkspeed has been contracted in as the build partner. Afrihost on Thinkspeed means Afrihost is the customer-facing ISP doing your billing and support, while Thinkspeed owns and maintains the actual fibre line.
As an open-access network, Thinkspeed allows multiple ISPs on the same line, which means Afrihost's role is to compete on price, hardware and service. The plans inherit the standard Afrihost terms - no contract, uncapped, unshaped, free Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers.

What a year actually costs
Advertised monthly price and 12-month cost of ownership are not the same ranking. Below, every Thinkspeed 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 |

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 40 Mbps deals.

The honest verdict
Where this page is the right answer, and where it is not. Both sides are computed from the 9 packages we track here, so they move when the prices do.
Afrihost on Thinkspeed is the right buy if…
- Your address shows Thinkspeed coverageCoverage decides this before price does. We track 9 verified Afrihost packages on Thinkspeed, from R827/mo for 50/25 Mbps Uncapped up to 1000 Mbps.
- You upload as much as you download4 of the 9 lines here are symmetrical, which matters for video calls, cloud backups and streaming out rather than in.
Who should look elsewhere
- Price is the only thing that matters to youVox sells 10/5 Mbps Uncapped on Thinkspeed for R349 - R478/mo less than the cheapest line on this page. Over 24 months that is R11 472.
- Your address does not show ThinkspeedThen none of the 9 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: 50/50 Mbps Uncapped works out at R19.14/Mbps against R1.81/Mbps for 1000/500 Mbps Uncapped - 10.6x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget, it buys far more per rand.
