I've been with Afrihost for years, I moved away 5 years ago, as I had to take over the ISP from the owner when I bought our new house, but very quickly moved back to Afrihost. Friendly and Efficient service and accounts representatives. Highly recommend Afrihost.

Extremely good customer service and response times. Customer support and technicians are always quick to respond and helpful and never give up until the issue is resolved. Even if calls drop, they will call you back. We've been using them for a year now and they remain consistent. Whether it's via phone call, WhatsApp, email, in person or via the app, the support I've received as a FTTH customer has been consistently excellent. Well done.

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.

I thought they were lying about the good service that they were receiving from Afrihost before i witnessed. What an odd customer service 😊👌. I can refer my friends, relatives and neighbors to this network without hesitating.

I needed to migrate to another service provider and chose Afrihost. I could not have made a better choice. Their customer service was superb. The consultant Sabelo assisted me from beginning to end. He/she responded to my queries promptly and effectively. The process was seamless with Sabelo assisting me at every turn. Thanks again Sabelo and Afrihost. I really did experience your red carpet treatment you strive to provide all your clients. Keep it up!

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.
