Afrihost is a very reliable business their customer service support is top tier. I chatted with one of their agents over WhatsApp regarding my fibre line interruption. The very next morning a team was sent and resolved my issue. It turns out the guys that mow our lawn had cut through the fibre wire that runs through the box on the outside.

Ive tried numerous internet providers over the years. Afrihost wins by far. The fibre is great and all but its the support service/structure that sets afrihost apart from its competitors.

Afrihost is always helpful whenever I have queries. Not only are they quick at answering the phone when I call, the consultants always have a professional demeanor. Today I was assisted by Simphiwe and it was another great experience interacting with Afrihost.

Afrihost have been amazing in my area, I have been with them for many years now and I have been down maybe four days in total. When other people are complaining that they are down on Frogfoot I am up with no issues thanks to Afrihost, best ISP in the country, hands down.

Whenever there is a connection issue, it is resolved quickly, even when the fault is with one of the fibre providers. After a recent lightning storm, the router was struck. Afrihost client support did everything they could from their side to confirm where the issue could be. Diagnosis steps are easy to follow and suggestions are clear and worthwhile. Connectivity is restored quickly and is always up to the specified speeds. Problems will happen but the attitude that Afrihost has proves that they are the best.

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.
