After calling the Afrihost’s landline to discover that they were closed and I needed to sort out my lack of internet access, I attempted the WhatsApp chat support. I only had a minor problem which was identified through initial picture being sent to my technician and then a video which quickly pointed to the problem and potential solution. For this minor issue the WhatsApp support was brilliant and although as my WiFi was down I was still able to communicate with the technician via my phone data. Keep it up Afrihost!

I had a problem with my debit order payments and used WhatsApp to interact with one of Afrihost's technicians. His name is Larry and found him to be knowledgeable and had patience with my repetitive questions.

I have been using Afrihost for over 10 years, and I have always been pleased with their service. Despite a lot of ISPs to choose from, I have not been able to find a reason to bother looking others.

It's always such a pleasure dealing with all Afrihost consultants. Though we were texting, I could sense the tone of sincerity with Phumeza. The problem isn't an Afrihost one, but she went beyond to assist me and report the matter to VumaTel as well as getting me my reference number. Thank you

The best part about Afrihost is their customer support. I’ve had minor glitches but I’ve almost always had a good experience. Chatting to them via WhatsApp is quite convenient and highly recommended!
