Afrihost 13Gbps ADSL network upgrade complete
Afrihost has announced that its ADSL network upgrade is complete. This upgrade included an increase in capacity (from 8Gbps to 13Gbps) and IPCs in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
“With our move onto the MTN network late last year, their network capacity had expanded to 8Gbps, a 30% increase from their previous capacity of approximately 6Gbps on the IS network,” Afrihost said.
“For us to continue to deliver the best ADSL experience for our clients, we expanded our network by an additional 60% – from 8Gbps to 13Gbps.”
As of February and March 2013, Cape Town and Durban’s respective dedicated IPCs went live.
As of March 2013, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban respectively enjoy 8Gbps, 3Gbps and 2Gbps dedicated IPCs with the new network upgrades. The entire 13Gbps network is fully operational.

Afrihost has also upgraded their city to city links between Cape Town-Johannesburg and Johannesburg-Durban, with the Cape Town-Port Elizabeth link due to be completed soon.
“This will improve our local network and ensure the best connectivity between cities, resulting in more efficient routing of traffic, which is now within the MTN core network as opposed to Telkom’s national network,” said Afrihost.
Afrihost added that they contracted multi-Gbps connectivity on EASSy and WACS. “Our new network also boasts multiple international redundancies with capacity on several undersea cables,” the company said.
