AFRIHOST Excessive and unsubstantiated price increase

To all AfriHost fibre clients. Do not be fooled by the automated e-mail sent to you by Gian, the CEO. There is no silver lining. What it is is a R 100 ( 20 %) per month price increase, period. These special rates he's referring to are savings that was passed on to all OpenServe ISPs, AfriHost being one.

Yes, OpenServe is doing away with lower speeds (so is the competition). With 25 MB/s being the lowest speed offered from 1 March 2021. But this higher entry level speed is provided to all OpenSevre's ISPs at no additional cost to the ISP. For detail on this see the URL:

Mr CEO, your clients are not fools. Call it what it is, A 20 % PRICE INCREASE.

AFRIHOST should be ashamed to take unfair advantage of it's client in these difficult economic times. Putting 4 times the inflationary increases on its clients, when there is no increase in the the data cost to the ISP!
