What is Afrihost on Zoom?
Zoom Fibre is an open-access residential fibre operator that has trenched into selected suburbs, primarily in Gauteng. Afrihost on Zoom is the standard ISP-and-FNO split: Afrihost is the brand on your bill and the team that picks up your support call, while Zoom owns the cable from the street into your home and is responsible for the line itself.
Zoom's open-access status means several ISPs sell on the same line, so Afrihost's pitch is the standard mix - no contract, uncapped, unshaped, free Wi-Fi 6 router on most tiers, R5 000 setup credit on new installs. Pricing tracks closely with Openserve at the same speed.
A comparison of Zoom deals
We track 5 live Zoom packages from Afrihost. Here's how the line-up shapes up.
| Metric | Value | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Cheapest line | R697 | 50/50 Mbps · Afrihost |
| Fastest line | 1000 Mbps | R1 447/month · Zoom Fibre |
| Best value | R1.45/Mbps | 1000 Mbps at R1 447 |
| Symmetrical | 3 of 5 | packages upload at download speed |
Zoom's footprint is suburb-specific. Where Zoom and Openserve both cover your address, the price difference through Afrihost is usually minimal - pick on which one has the better local outage history.

That is the 50/50 Mbps Uncapped line, and no ISP we track undercuts it on Zoom Fibre. Sort by price, speed or rand-per-Mbps to find the tier that fits.

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

| 2 | AfrihostZoom Fibre · 100/100 Mbps | R947 | — | R0 | R11 364 | R947 | 2 |

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 5 packages we track here, so they move when the prices do.
Afrihost on Zoom is the right buy if…
- Your address shows Zoom coverageCoverage decides this before price does. We track 5 verified Afrihost packages on Zoom, from R697/mo for 50/50 Mbps Uncapped up to 1000 Mbps.
- You want the cheapest seller on this networkNo ISP we track undercuts R697 on Zoom Fibre at 50/50 Mbps Uncapped, so the entry line here is the market floor rather than a mid-table price.
- You upload as much as you download3 of the 5 lines here are symmetrical, which matters for video calls, cloud backups and streaming out rather than in.
Who should look elsewhere
- Your address does not show ZoomThen 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: 50/50 Mbps Uncapped works out at R13.94/Mbps against R1.45/Mbps for 1000/500 Mbps Uncapped - 9.6x the price per megabit. If a bigger line fits the budget, it buys far more per rand.
