Is the first time I use afrihost services. Is the best of the best compared to my previous service providers. I can definitely refer it to anyone who needs uninterrupted internet.

No waiting for 40 mins on a call to eventually not have your issues solved like my previous isp. Afrihost whatsapp chat is easy to use and responses are quick. And calling in on the toll free line gets you connected to knowledgeable technical staff that actually understands tech jargon.

I highly recommend Afrihost , I’ve been with them now for a year, struggled through loadshedding and my wife working from home with them, I’ve always had the best and extremely quick customer service with them. Only cancelled now due to relocation and installation cost with frogfoot being a bit high. If a free installation package becomes available I will definitely be switching back. All the best.

In my recent interactions, Nombulelo exhibited a level of dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail that exceeded my expectations. Her commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction is truly commendable. Nombulelo’s positive attitude and exceptional service have undoubtedly contributed to a positive experience for me. I believe it is essential to acknowledge outstanding performance, and I wanted to ensure that Nombulelo’s efforts are recognized at the managerial level. Her exemplary service reflects positively on your team and contributes to the overall reputation of your department. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to continued positive interactions with your team.

Mali has been a great help. She did not only focus on my current problem, she also checked what the next steps would be and assisted me right to the end. It has been a great experience and would recommend Afrihost.

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.
