The WhatsApp help service option from Afrihost is excellent. Dealt with my issue concisely. Person on the other end helping was for me the best when interacting with. Her turnaround time to providing responses was efficient and resolved my issue promptly.

Stellar service! Was connected within the hour! A direct contrast to MWEB who still has not figured out how to cancel my old wifi connection. Despite having requested it a month ago.

If you're tired of being tired, by these large cellphone companies, in 'South Africa', why don't you give, 'Afrihost' a try. Have come to an end of a two year contract, with one of the largest cellphone companies in 'South Africa'. Now, looking for a month to month deal. 'Afrihost', depending on your particular area and thus, cell / signal coverage, offers fantastic products and service. Their pricings are competitive, they utilise well versed and skilled, sales and back office personal. And every time that I need to communicate with one of their professionals, I'm always reassured and leave with total peace of mind. Well done. Keep it up. Thank you.

Patient assistants that will go and extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. I had network problems using Data throughout my interaction and I was so scared that they will cut me off after being unresponsive but I always went back to our chats with an assistant kindly checking if I am still there.

We contacted Afrihost when we realized we had no wifi. They responded immediately. The communication was excellent. They are going out of their way to sort out the problem as they are aware our son needs wifi for online school. Since the fibre was installed, we haven't had any problems. We highly recommend Afrihost.

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.
