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.
