I have been an Afrihost client for years and have encouraged many a family member to use them as their ISP as well. More often than not, their products just work. When it doesn't - it's both easy to report and feedback is quick. And best of all, their systems and product offerings are actually in the client's interest - no long contract terms, you can get any product month to month. It's simple and frictionless to cancel or downgrade/upgrade products on the app.

Every service provider has issues here and there. Afrihost has had the least issues for me so far. They are quick to assist when there is a issue. They have also given me the most stable connection so far.

Well managed and helpful. Migration of LTE from Cell C to Telkom was seamless but Telkom's inability to provide live data usage updates is a nuisance. I've subsequently been given a way of getting live usage updates via Huawei, which works very well.

They are a little bit expensive but they are hardly ever Down. On the few occasions that I’ve had to contact the technical support via WhatsApp – they were able to sort me out quickly. The only downside is the technical support is not 24 /7

I've been a client of Afrihost since it's inception in Mitchell's Plain , Mitchell's plain Fibre then it changed now to Vuma Reach. I started off with the normal 20mpbs line and just today upgraded to the 100mbps line due to us having and getting to many gadgets over the years that needs wifi. My experience thus far has been great 👍 no real issues that wasn't handled promptly and efficiently by the Afrihost staff. They also have a dedicated watsup line which I use at times. So far so good , ive never had big problems or problems like my other friends had. And they deduct their monthly installments from my bank account every month so I don't struggle with vouchers and loading like some of my friends do. So Afrihost keep up the good work, I'm happy as can be 100%

So pleased with the amazing fast service from Afrihost. I am not regretting choosing them for 1 sec. Their service is quick and easy and their support is top notch to install. The fibre itself is just a dream. Geraldo who assisted me was the best customer service guide ever. He had so much patience with me and his thinking, solving skills, and response is solid speedy. Geraldo you are the MAN!!!! Afrihost, you guys are amazing.

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.
