No problems with Afrihost contrary to some other people's experiences. Maybe I'm lucky, caught their support staff on a good day or they're trying the best they can and make mistakes sometime. Anyway, based on my experiences with my current fibre line, UPS, one domain with the low end shared hosting, I have received nothing but excellent service for the amount of money I pay every month.

I joined the Afrihost family back in October of 2023. Since then, I never had issues with this organization. Always on point. Giving their best service where needed.

Frustrating network problem was fixed speedily and expertly by George M of Afrihost. No lengthy explanation was needed from my side and problem was sorted via photographs and written word. Great service by Afrihost and a definite recommendation from me!

Afrihost don’t just offer competitive prices on their impressive product offer, but their customer service is unmatched. I’ve had encounters with their service since 2014 and they’ve been consistent in their excellent customer service. I’ve now just migrated my fibre SP service to Afrihost for nothing else but peace of mind. I look forward to a meaningful journey ahead for many years to come.

The online system is very convenient and works very well. I also used the WhatsApp chat line where I received prompt responses and assistance.

Quick service with a polite, knowledgeable technician. Have been with Afrihost for many years and have never had an issue; from my first foray into the world of broadband with a 1Mb ADSL line until today with both fibre and LTE connections

Excellent service. I've never had any problems with my connectivity and the customer service is refreshingly efficient and reliable. I only recommend Afrihost as an ISP to others.

I didn’t expect to be assisted so quickly by an Afrihost agent and on a Sunday afternoon at that. I wish more South African companies provided this excellent level of service.

Besides the fact that I haven't had wifi for 3 weeks, Afrihost has made every effort to try and assist and resolve the issue which I appreciate. When it is working, it's a great and affordable service so hence my 5 stars.

Afrihost provides me consistently reliable internet access over fibre for the past 6 years (currently 300mbs), hosts my web site and email, and offers exceptional support over whatsapp

Tuesday 30 April 2024 My line with RSAWeb was cancelled. I've been very disappointed by their service lately. Their pricing didn't link accordingly with their service levels. Wednesday 01 May 2024 I signed up with Supersonic. Chose my package, submitted my documents, everything. Thursday 02 May 2024 The entire morning I was battling to get confirmation from Supersonic regarding my order. I phoned, but no answer. I sent WhatsApp messages, no reply. I cancelled my order with Supersonic. Thursday 02 May 2024 I signed up with Afrihost. My fiber line was activated same day and my router arranged. Friday 03 May After I failed to connect the router for WiFi, Afrihost assisted me to connect my existing router so we can have WiFi while waiting for the new router. Quick and effective assistance received. Monday 06 May I received my router. I had challenges with the settings and Ricky took me step by step via WhatsApp. I'm sorted and everything is in order. I haven't experienced this level of service in a very long time. Afrihost is the service provider you need. Their service levels are very high, support staff are quick and efficient. They easily get a 10/10 rating from me. I have faster Mbps at a cheaper rate with Afrihost and excellent service on top of it. That's a powerful combination to have 💪🏽💯
