I have been an Afrihost customer for over a year and to date I have been very happy with the service. Today my Wifi stopped working and I was able to resolve it over Whatsup, which is really great.

I have had really great service from Afrihost. (2019 - 2025) Started with fibre, then LTE, now LTE once again. The fault fixing service is the best I have ever dealt with. And the agents are pretty good. Above all things, you’re communicating with a person, not a bot. I would sincerely recommend Afrihost to my nearest and dearest because I choose them for myself. Please keep up the exceptional service. You truly stand above your competitors.

Afrihost, is easy to work with, low hassle And quite upfront about their services (other companies hide their clawback fees, Afrihost tells you straight). The Customer Service, especially on WhatsApp, is friendly, quick and very helpful. It’s just too bad that referral codes don’t work for fibre. Other than that, I wish I could give them six stars. Truly, the best ISP experience I have had.

I’m an Afrihost customer for more than 8 years now, first with hosting, then LTe then ADSL & now fibre. Service is excellent as the WhatsApp help desk works perfectly. Their agents are well trained and ask the right questions (I’m in IT support). Minimal downtime, even with load shedding.

Switched from Telkom to Afrihost. No regrets! They always communicate with you if theres an outage and outages are very seldom for just a few hours. Customer service and internet etc from Afrihost is the best in town. An added bonus is that you can communicate with them via whatsapp.

I recently cancelled with my previous fibre provider due to their poor customer service and signed up with Afrihost instead. Although my activation was delayed by 5 days because of issues on Vumatel’s side, I must compliment Afrihost on their excellent professionalism throughout the process. Their customer service agents answer calls within minutes, are polite, patient, and sincerely apologetic. A special thank you to Ricardo for the consistent email and telephonic updates, and for ensuring my service was finally set up. Truly amazing service – keep up the great work, Afrihost!

You get help so fast. The WhatsApp Chats are very HELPFUL. Very cost effective. I don't have to call Afrihost. I just WhatsApp them and they respond in a minute. 🤗 Thank you, Afrihost Fibre for the effective responses and help.👏👏💅

Had an issue with our WiFi going down but was quickly able to WhatsApp with Afrihost assist they were friendly helpful and patient. And although we have to log a service request I was assured that they would monitor and follow up. Just being kept in the loop knowing it will get sorted out and they are following through is a great advance on me having to battle to get through to call centers and have to keep repeating my story. Very happy to have Afrihost oversight.

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.
