I'm very pleased with the whatsapp support I received from Gershom M. He was patient, clear, precise and did not give up until I was back on internet. I can recommend Afrihost for there exceptional aftercare.

Tshidiso S was o very helpful once we got to the route of the problem and his speedy service to get me a router to replace my faulty one is impressive. Thank you very much Tshidiso. You are appreciated.

I've been an Afrihost client for a long time now and never had a problem. Today, NO WIFI. And thanks to Afrihost Support whatsapp and a very patient helpful technician, all sorted quickly and painlessly.

Great from start to finish! Second account I am proudly opening with Afrihost! A friend messaged me while busy with the registration, asking me what I was doing... Told him "signing up with Afrihost"... He replied that I was making the biggest mistake ever, I should rather use *******. I told him to call back later as I want to complete my Afrihost registration without interruptions - and that I have been an Afrihost client for almost 10 years with NO issues! Call ended, he forwarded me a brochure of the company he was referring to... 5x times more expensive, I kid you not. Domain registered with Afrihost and ready to use in under an hour! Great service!

I’ve used Afrihost for longer than I can remember. I’ve used them for adsl lines back in the day and then vdsl (I actually tested their fair use policy and made it on the top 10 highest data users in the country and not shaped or throttled once on a 20Mb vdsl line) I’ve used them for small businesses and I’ve been with their mobile data plan for years now and working in the IT industry, I’ve dealt with a lot of service providers and as a data provider. I HIGHLY recommend Afrihost to everyone and anyone who has mtn! Use Afrihost data! One down side is that they rely on third party companies (helkom, frogfoot and whoever) almost all the issues I’ve had are with the physical providers. And Afrihost support has always been extremely helpful even with dealing with third parties like telkom. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ there. 6 stars. Afrihost is a solid data provider

I have been a Afrihost customer since 2009. The best ISP I have ever been in partnership with. Whenever I move from province to province I always give them the first choice to provide us with the best internet services. Very happy with the support structure and the prices are reasonable. Very professional support team. It is people like Palesa that will make me come back to Afrihost. Keep up the great work.
