I can honestly say that in all the years I have been an Afrihost customer I have never had an issue with them. Their customer service is 10/10, support is easily accessible and the way their packages/contracts are structured allows for some flexibility that I haven’t found with other providers. I have had an Afrihost LTE router and Afrihost data (APN with MTN), I currently use them as our email provider as well as our Fibre provider.

Great service and very helpful! They assisted me the whole way with setting it up my profile and choosing the right line being a first time user they made it so easy!

Deborah Haybittel

I got to talk to a real human being on their whatsapp chat without having to go through an automated bot thing. Never under estimate the power of real human interaction. They've gained a customer

The after service is excellent. Loving the user friendly app. Great to keep updated with any network issues and the support line is very easy to use. Happy client!

Shalom Goldstone

I am so impressed with there service. Especially seeing that I come from a low income area. Other ISP's made me feel like less of a priority.

I have been an Afrihost client for many years. My experience with them has been of a very stable network, good communication on their website on the rare occasions that it has been down, reasonably priced. My experience with their WhatsApp helpline has also been positive.

More about 5G.

What is 5G?

5G is a new generation of mobile networking and offers vastly improved speeds and seamless performance. 5G is much faster than 4G (5G).

What speeds can I expect?

The MTN Network averages up to 246Mbps. Average speeds remain device and coverage dependent and are determined by the external environment around your home and where the router is situated in your home.

Can I use this 5G service anywhere?

The Fixed 5G service is designed to be used at your home, and the SIM card will be locked to the location you provide and your Fixed 5G services will only work at this location.

General Questions.

How long does it take to activate after delivery?

Your SIM card should be active within 30 minutes after delivery. In extreme cases it can take up to 48 hours, but this is highly unlikely. Should you have trouble connecting after 30 minutes, please reboot your device and try to connect again. Please contact our Support team if you do not have a connection after 48 hours.

Why are only certain devices allowed to be used with Pure 5G?

Afrihost can only allow devices which have been network approved by MTN and have identified a range of devices which specifically suit a Fixed 5G offer, and which are sometimes offered by competitors. This range of devices includes:

HUAWEI: 5G CPE Pro 2
ZTE: 5G CPE MC801A

Please note that Pure 5G will only work on the above approved devices. If you insert your SIM card into a device that has not been approved by MTN, your SIM card will be blocked and you will lose internet access. You will then have to contact Afrihost Support to get your SIM card unblocked.

SIM and APN.

Do I need to RICA my SIM card?

Yes. You will need to have your original barcoded Identity Document, as well as a valid proof of residence. Visit our RICA Information page for detailed information.

Can I use the SIM card in another device?

Our Pure 5G SIM card is only compatible with the 5G device supplied with your order. For SIM Only packages, only the following approved devices will work with your Pure 5G (MTN) SIM card:

HUAWEI:5G CPE Pro 2
ZTE:5G CPE MC801A

Please note that you also need to be in the MTN Network coverage area.

Do I need to change my APN settings?

SIM + Device orders

We will preconfigure the 5G device that is shipped with your SIM card - so you do not need to change any APN settings.

SIM Only

If you will be using your new 5G SIM card with your own device, please visit setup.afrihost.com for instructions on how to get connected. In some cases you’ll have to change the Access Point Name (APN) settings on your device.

Managing your package.

Can I upgrade or downgrade my package?

Yes. All Pure 5G packages can be upgraded or downgraded in ClientZone.

Note that package changes will only be effective on the 1st of the following month, regardless of when in the month the request is made or whether it is an upgrade or downgrade. This is a restriction from our providers.
