Very happy with Afrihost. I placed an order, and my internet was installed the same day. I am on month 3 with them and no issues. Great customer service when I went to collect my router at theirhead office. Very welcoming.

I am struggling with connectivity for three days, when communicating with afrihost they keep giving me same intervention strategies that do not work. Afrihost doesn't care about clients at all. Presently I am attending on-line classes but I can't because Afrihost doesn't have interest of clients at all, and they don't want to refund me at least so I can look for another company

We were assisted with our internet connection issues by Katlego and she was extremely patient and helpful and walked us through every step efficiently, and that is exactly the time of person you need when dealing with this type of issue.

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 have to place on record, I am over excited and satisfied with the impeccable service from afrihost and the after hours service is excellent, I have spoken to few consultants and said to them they must report my good rating to their manager's. I'm amazed, my order was delivered and installed and activated in a week. The installation and delivery process was quick. I have referred my neighbor to sign up with you guys and helped him with the signing up process on the online application. Please keep your standards high at all times, I must admit the afrihost App is user friendly and everything as a client we need to know is on it. Keep up the good service and I wish you guys well and many more signed on happy client's. 👍🙏😁

Excellent service I got from a person called Sello. Afrihost must just fix their debit method as it sometimes don't debit automatically. This has to be really looked at bcoz it's a big inconvenience sometimes.

Air Mobile Afrihost is a great company/organization that has good assistants...everything they advertise on social media is true. So lovely. I got my sim card within 2days...I guess it's because I'm staying close to them. Rivonia Eden Sandton

Very good and fast wifi for cheap. Compared what data costs and what I pay monthly to Afrihost. I would recommend it to anyone. Very helpful help line.

I've been with Afrihost since back in the dialup modem days and later also ADSL. I had to switch however to another ISP when we got fibre as Afrihost didn't service our area at the time. However, my experience with them were never as good as with Afrihost and when Afrihost did eventually offer fibre services on our Vumatel infrastructure, I was eager to jump back - and have been happy ever since.

We have been with Afrihost since April. And when we signed up the company kept in contact with the owner of the building to convince him to put fibre in. Eventually he did and as quick as it was installed ours was up and running. I convinced all the people in our flats to take Afrihost and most did. Thanks for ur excellent service and technical support when needed.

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.
