I have only had excellent service from Afrihost and I can definitely recommend this ISP to anyone who would like the best price and excellent service from a Service Provider. I do recommend them to all my friends and family.

Two years ago I wrote a 3 star review but things have changed since then. When I signed up in 2019, the LTE connectivity was excellent even during loadshedding and stayed that way for a little over a year. Then there was an MTN network outage in January 2021, and after that I had almost zero connectivity during long blackouts, which impacted my productivity. That's when I wrote the 3-star review. I don't know what they did to solve the problem, but around January 2022 the connectivity was as good as it was during loadshedding when I first signed up. After about two years they rewarded my loyalty to them by doubling my monthly data allocation with ZERO price increase, and my router was paid off as well so my monthly instalment actually decreased a little bit. We've been through a pandemic and we're in the midst of the worst economic crisis and the most rapid and frequent inflation increases I've ever had the misfortune of living through, but I've never had to worry about Afrihost. I'm a "difficult" customer, but I had to change my review because as critical as I am of unstable corporates and their non-existent customer service, I'm also quick to applaud business excellence. I have no idea what they're doing or what kind of system they've got in place, but all I can say is that they're doing it right. They're the one brand I'll stay loyal to no matter the cost.

Placed an order for fibre on 06th July and fully set up on 12th July. Literally 6 days later, I'm super impressed with Afrihost & Vumatel and look forward to a good journey with both companies. I had a bit of a connection issue with my router, but after a 5 minute conversation on whatsapp with Sindile from Afrihost, my issue was resolved promptly and professionally. Thank you so much!

Best Technical consultant I've ever dealt with in anything. I sent a message to their whatsapp. FUMANJI responded and helped me sort out my wifi after I was getting terrible signal for 2 weeks straight only to find out router software was faulty. He replied to each one of my whatsapps within seconds of my response and didn't leave me hanging until the problem was solved. Give this man a Bells! Honestly jokes aside best service ever from consultant.

Great company. Customer Service is next level. I have been a client of theirs since 2016, and I love dealing with them. Minimum down time and if it is down, it is resolved very quickly.

The internet connection is reliable and consistent, and setup was smooth from the beginning. I really appreciate the transparency and how easy it is to manage everything from their app. Great value for money – I highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for quality service and peace of mind. Keep up the great work!

Checking Pure DSL coverage

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

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.
