This was the best experience I have had with a service provider ever. It is incredible that they call you and you don't have to wait for hours to be assisted. I love that I could do this online in the comfort of my home. Their website is user-friendly, such a pleasure for someone like me who struggles with technology! they are surely geared to make life easy in this world of technology. The people were very professional and extremely helpful. We also have Afrihost as our service provider for our internet. What a pleasure.

Afrihost is taking over my current Openserve line from another government owned ISP. Their assistance and friendliness was just what I needed after weeks of headaches and frustration. Thank you, Afrihost!

Afrihost has been an excellent provider. Their communication channels are effective and they are prompt and you interact with humans not robots. I would highly recommend Afrihost as a fibre provider.

Afrihost is great. I now have their fibre and a data sim for my phone. Their service at the Rivonia walk-in centre was welcomin=g, efficient and knowledgeable. Gregory P was beyond patient about answering my questions. Other service staff have kept me updated on the fibre process with calls and emails. Everything has worked seamlessly. And you can talk to a real person if you have a problem. Should have done this years ago.

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.
