So far, great experience with Afrihost. Customer care has always been available in a timely manner, unlike some other ISPs. Using LTE and pleasantly surprised with overnight delivery, quick access to internet at 100mbps.

Great service. But the admin panel could be more user-friendly, with a better UX and UI and more helpful videos and instructions on what to do. But then the WhatsApp services were great, and they helped me with all I needed. So that balances out the old User interface. Thanks ;-)

If you want the best ISP and customer service, look no further. I do all my internet services through Afrihost from Fibre, Mobile and Hosting. Never experienced any issues, and their support staff is excellent.

In my experience Afrihost more stable despite using same fibre provider as competitors. The support rarely leaves me with a problem as well. Recommend them anytime.

Afrihost don’t just offer competitive prices on their impressive product offer, but their customer service is unmatched. I’ve had encounters with their service since 2014 and they’ve been consistent in their excellent customer service. I’ve now just migrated my fibre SP service to Afrihost for nothing else but peace of mind. I look forward to a meaningful journey ahead for many years to come.

This was my fist interaction with Afrihost and normally I am very sceptic on how services can be through electronic communication, but I was very impressed with how this was done. My contact person, Gershom was very helpful. He answered all my questions in a supper fast and effective way and on top of that was also very friendly. Thank you for making my first contact with you a pleasures to do business with. This is the beginning of a long relationship and I am glad we started off so good. Keep it up and well done.
