I phoned Afrihost to request information because I was looking for the possibility of joining their FTTH unfortunately the email connected to me was blocked and the gentleman who was helping me was excellent and he understood my problem. He was patient with me and went all the way to Investigate my problem and pointed me to the relevant Depart of Afrihost that will assist me further.

No, not all line speeds will be available in all covered areas. This is because of infrastructure restrictions on Openserve’s side. Please use our Coverage Tool to check which packages are available in your area.
