I was not happy with some of the service under lockdown. Today I was given proper service and follow-ups without me even expecting the follow-up. Fair is fair, I gave them a bad rating when I wasn't happy. I have to give them 5 stars based on today's service as well as the good service in the last year.

Afrihost has provided me as an excellent internet service provider for many years now. I cannot imagine that there could be a better service provider in South Africa. Thank you to the Afrihost Team.

Best hosting platform...the hosting team helps with web development issues unlike other providers who throw you out to the wolves if you are starting off on your own. Consultants are quick to respond worth every penny and more!

Must just commend Afrihost on their incredible service. Had another need this morning that was beyond my DIY ability and as always they guided me to solve the issues. Thanks Veronique! Happy to do the amount of business I do, with Afrihost! The Best!

Highly recommend Afrihost as a service provider. Would still have preferred speaking to an agent via a phone line though instead of WhattsApp chat.

Great service, never had problems with net work. And monthly data expires every other month so you never run out of data as a the new data add ontop of the last month data.

After calling the Afrihost’s landline to discover that they were closed and I needed to sort out my lack of internet access, I attempted the WhatsApp chat support. I only had a minor problem which was identified through initial picture being sent to my technician and then a video which quickly pointed to the problem and potential solution. For this minor issue the WhatsApp support was brilliant and although as my WiFi was down I was still able to communicate with the technician via my phone data. Keep it up Afrihost!

Afrihost Client services is exceptional and so far the staff members I have interacted with from the beginning of my subscription (Nkosinathi, Samantha, Rhudzani, Lerato, Michaela etc), have given first class services. Had a bit of a glitch with my subscription cancellation error, and they fix3d my issue with deligence. Their roaming capacity is fast and they have packages to suit any budget for the masses.

Great service, was in store this morning to collect a sim card & modem. The collection and sim activation process was painless and once I had configured the modem to my existing network I was up and running.

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.
