Terms and Conditions

Fibre.
Unleashed.

Pure Fibre works with the infrastructure already in your area.

Most Fibre Networks are Open-Access, which means that any Internet Service Provider (ISP), such as us, that has an agreement with them can provide you with an Internet connection. As an example, you might currently have Fibre through 'Green Internet', which is just one of the ISPs available on the Vumatel, Openserve or MetroFibre etc. network. Switching from them to us is easy, simple and quick!

Fast and reliable internet.

Fibre uses optical cables to carry data via light, which makes it the fastest internet you can get - up to 50x times faster than the fastest ADSL available in South Africa. With the improved bandwidth throughput of Fibre you’ll have a more stable connection with lower latency. And, because Fibre uses light instead of electrical pulses, it's weather resistant and doesn't degrade over large distances - giving you a consistent, fast and dependable experience.

On-demand entertainment.

With Fibre, say goodbye to constant buffering, thanks to smooth, fast connectivity - allowing you to enjoy HD or 4K content, even if several people are streaming at the same time.* And with super-low latency, you can take gaming to a whole new level too.

* The ability to stream multiple content sources and the quality thereof is determined by the speed of the connection you choose.

Connect more devices.

We live in a digital world, with more devices in our homes every single day - and normal broadband solutions struggle to support the increased demand on your Internet connection. With Fibre, you can connect more devices, at better speeds than ever before - start enjoying reliable, fast internet connectivity in every room of the house.

No telephone line needed.

One of the great benefits of using Fibre is that you don't need a traditional landline to get connected. This means that you'll hundreds every month because you're not paying for a phone line (which you probably don't use anyway) just to connect to the internet. You also don't have to worry about copper cable theft!

Getting Started with Pure Fibre

How Fibre is different from DSL?

DSL is dependent on copper wire infrastructure, which is often unreliable and can be slow if you have a bad line or are far away from your local exchange, whereas Fibre transmits data with pulses of light over an optical cable.

These cables are far more reliable than copper wires and can offer much greater connectivity speeds.

How to get connected to Fibre

Step 01 - Check Fibre coverage
Fibre is still relatively new and currently being rolled out across the country. So you may not have Fibre available in your area just yet. Use our Coverage Map to find out if your area is Fibre ready and which providers are available.

Step 02 - Sign up with Afrihost
In true Afrihost style, we have several affordable, contract-free Fibre packages to choose from, and have multiple Fibre providers working with us to bring you Pure Internet Joy. Simply put in your address, and if you're covered, we'll take it from there and get you connected before you can say Pure Fibre.

Step 03 - Fibre installation
There are three basic steps to getting Fibre, which begins with availability in your neighbourhood. Once the provider has done this initial installation, your area would be Fibre ready. The next step is to have a Fibre line brought onto your property. Once you've signed up for Pure Fibre with Afrihost, the relevant provider will be in touch to help you get the Fibre line installed to your premises.

Step 04 - Pure Fibre Joy!
Once you're all set up, just sit back and enjoy faster internet with HD or 4K streaming, faster downloads, and uninterrupted surfing and gaming. And you can even do this wirelessly across supported devices with the Afrihost dual-band AC WiFi Router, which provides an excellent coverage area and operates on both the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies for future-proof, cutting-edge connectivity.

How long will it take to get connected?

This will depend on the turnaround for your installation and activation. Once the line has been installed in your premises it can take up to 5 days for the provider to activate your line. As soon as your Fibre line is active, you can be connected to Pure Internet Joy from Afrihost within 24 hours.

Each provider has a different lead time for installation and activation. If your line is already activated, you'll be connected shortly after you sign up.

Checking Pure Fibre Coverage

How to check if you have Fibre coverage in your area

You can use our Coverage Tool to check if Fibre is available in your area. Simply enter your address and we'll show you which Fibre providers are available in your area.

If you do not have Fibre coverage in your area

If Fibre isn't available in your area yet, use the Coverage Tool to give us your details and we'll let you know as soon as Fibre becomes available in your area.

Shaping and prioritisation

Are your Fibre packages shaped?

No, all Pure Fibre packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled - There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.

Delivery fee.

General questions.

Is the price of the Fibre line included in the package price?

Yes - the price you see is the price you pay! All Fibre packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

No. If you sign up with Pure Fibre today, you can save up to R5000 on setup costs and we'll send you a Fibre-ready WiFi router at no cost on new installations. Terms and Conditions apply.

Do I need a telephone line to use Fibre?

No! Fibre connects via optical cables that carry data via light, which are completely separate from the Telkom copper wire network.

Can I use my current DSL router?

Probably not, as Fibre works very differently to DSL. But you may, in some cases, be able to use your existing WiFi enabled router to spread your Fibre connection via WiFi. This will depend on which router you have and how the provider installs your Fibre.

Will my Fibre Package be locked to a single location?

Yes, Pure Fibre packages are locked to a single location.

Do you have an Acceptable Use Policy?

Yes, all Pure Fibre packages are subject to our Acceptable Use Policy.

Can existing Afrihost Fibre clients get Pure Fibre?

Yes, existing Afrihost Fibre clients can simply do a package change via ClientZone.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost Fibre package to Pure Fibre, you will not be able to change back.
