I was helped by a customer service agent by the name of Lebohang. He made everything a breeze with transferring my line and explained the steps to follow effortlessly. Thanks Lebohang!

I contacted Afrihost client service on WhatsApp multiple times and every time I was connected to a helper within 5 minutes of starting a chat. The people who helped us were patient despite the multitude of questions and always ensured to keep us updated on steps to follow as well as ensuring we are getting things right with constant follow up questions if we were still strugling or needed further assistance

I set up my parents fibre account. The fibre was installed by vumatel and Afrihost their ISP. As Afrihost wasn’t open, I tried the WhatsApp function. Germaine was the person helping me on the other end. He/She was really professional, helpful and we managed to set up the fibre and get everything working in no time. Really GREAT service. Thank you!

Everything I have had to do through Afrihost has been fantastic. I needed support early hours of the morning, and it was sorted out in a few minutes. The staff member who helped me was incredibly friendly. The setup process of what I wanted to do was easy and seamless. Never thought I would ever give an ISP 5 stars, but Afrihost deserves 6. Their hosting services are pretty fantastic in my opinion.

No, not all line speeds will be available in all covered areas. This is because of infrastructure restrictions on Openserve’s side. Please use our Coverage Tool to check which packages are available in your area.
