This can vary depending on your location and the availability of existing infrastructure. Afrihost provides estimated timelines on their website, but it’s always best to confirm with them directly for a more accurate timeframe.
In most cases, you don’t need to be home for the entire installation. Afrihost will communicate the process beforehand and may require access for specific steps.
Afrihost Fibre uses a different technology than ADSL, so your existing DSL router might not be compatible. However, some routers can be configured to work with both technologies. Check with Afrihost or your router’s manufacturer for compatibility.
Afrihost can assist you with deactivating your ADSL service once your Fibre connection is up and running. This ensures you avoid double billing.
Afrihost has a dedicated support team available to troubleshoot any internet connectivity issues. You can contact them through their various support channels.
Afrihost provides an online client zone where you can view your data usage and track your internet consumption.
