Excellent service. WhatsApp chat very helpful... Been with Afrihost for years and service is excellent. Staff always helpful. Pricing of products great. Suggest Mtn data offered by Afrihost consider offering specific WhatsApp data purchase for those that need to use WhatsApp for work purposes whereby WhatsApp data and calls be used for WhatsApp only and STD data be used for general internet usage. Ensures that if STD data runs out u still have WhatsApp data for WhatsApp use for work and emergency and calls. Something Afrihost must try to negotiate with mtn and offer to Afrihost/Mtn clients additional to the STD data pckg offers.

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 💪🏽💯

Afrihost is a great isp. I’ve been with them for over a year now and haven’t picked up one issue with them which is very rare when it comes to such big companies.

Linda D – Absolute Star at Afrihost ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was frustrated after being kept on hold for a while and, shame, I gave Linda D a bit of attitude out of pure irritation. But wow — she didn’t take it personally. She stayed calm, patient, and helped me with everything I needed. Even when I asked her to transfer the chat, she stuck with me and resolved my issue like a pro. That’s next-level service. Afrihost, you’ve got a real gem on your hands. Big respect!

I have to say, out of every company I have dealt with, Afrihost has, by far, the best technical support. It is a PLEASURE to deal with them, they are always fast, knowledgeable and helpful and frankly no one else can hold a candle to them. I have been using Afrihost for years, for email and website hosting, and I don't see myself changing anytime soon. I definitely recommend them.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic help Jessica provided. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was resolved smoothly, and it made a world of difference. It’s rare to encounter such exceptional service, and she’ve set a high standard. Thank you for making the experience not only stress-free but genuinely pleasant. Afrihost is lucky to have someone as committed and capable as her!

I sent a query to the watsapp group. Mali was there to help and to get to the route of the problem experienced. Results could not happen due to the outage experienced. He reported it,found answers and red flagged. I just have wait for technicians to find fault and fix it. Great service and feedback.

After years of trying various ISPs: Mweb, Rain, Cool Ideas, VOX and I can go on. Afrihost is where the benchmark is set as a fibre or LTE service provider. I commend you guys, and please keep up with the good work and exceptional service delivery. Love dealing with you, and I could not fault you anything of I tried.
