Schalk P was proficient and set on establishing the root cause and resolving the problem. He acknowledged and swiftly responded in detail to all requests for information. Wish all technical support encounters would be handled like this one was.

Based on the Whatsapp assistance for web hosting I think I will be moving my fiber line from my current ISP. Very helpful and great response time.

I am interested in migrating to Afrihost. Sifiso answered all my questions in a respectful and professional manner. I will definitely be switching.

Good service provider with a personal touch from the CEO. Any problems I have are generally solved rapidly with little more than a WhatsApp. Line is stable and I always have the speed I pay for.

I have dealt with a lot of ISPs but Afrihost is, by far, the best I have dealt with. Very efficient, starting from the order/installation process all the way to their support team. A very happy client, I am 🙌🏾

After Eskom kindly load shed our power, I couldn't connect to the internet. Afrihost assisted me step by step through the reconnection process and sorted out the connection issues, and this was all done over Whatsapp with screen shots. Great service, kind assistance and over all a fantastic experience. I recommend that everyone should use afrihost as their service provider. Keep up the good work.

An extremely pleasant experience. I had a Wi-Fi solution in my new home in lightning speed. All the work from home stressors were sorted! (It does help to collect the device, which makes the process so much quicker). The customer service was superb and very helpful.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the WhatsApp Helpline works so well😮. I received a prompt reply from Geraldo, a friendly, polite and efficient consultant. Definitely recommend AfriHost as a service provider😊. Professional, fast and efficient from order and installation, right up to after-sales service😃. And the prices are so reasonable, really a great offer for anyone wanting fibre.

I recently had a query and chat on their WhatsApp line. The lady immediately knew what I wanted and answered all my questions. Very good service

I've been an Afrihost client for a number of years now, first with an adsl account and then hosting my email domain. I've always found them to be efficient and very helpful. I only wish I had used them when I changed to fibre and not Telkom!

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.

If DSL is not available in your area, we’ll check if any of our other data solutions are available. You can also choose to give us your details and we’ll let you know as soon as one of our Internet solutions becomes available in your area.
