Exceptional Support from Nkosana at Afrihost! I recently had the pleasure of receiving outstanding support from Nkosana at Afrihost, and I couldn't be more impressed. Nkosana's dedication to providing top-notch customer service truly stood out, and I want to take a moment to share my positive experience. From the moment I reached out with my Afrihost-related questions, Nkosana demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues at hand. Not only did he address my concerns promptly, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that I felt heard and supported throughout the entire interaction. Nkosana's expertise and professionalism were evident in his clear and concise explanations, making complex technical information easily understandable. He took the time to guide me through each step of the process, leaving no room for confusion or uncertainty. What sets Nkosana apart is not only his technical proficiency but also his friendly and personable approach. He made me feel like a valued customer, and his commitment to resolving my issues left a lasting positive impression. In a world where exceptional customer service is increasingly rare, Nkosana's dedication to excellence is truly commendable. Afrihost is fortunate to have such a skilled and customer-centric professional on their team. Thank you, Nkosana, for your outstanding support. Your commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed, and I am grateful for the positive experience you provided. Keep up the fantastic work!

This review is based not on overall performance of fibre internet but how well one of the support team members assisted me on WhatsApp which is why I give such a high rating. Cunsumer experience always comes first, well done for giving her a job in support. She’s a keeper!

They are responsive whenever assistance is needed, and matters are handled as quickly as possible. The availability of alternative communication options has made it easier for different people to reach out.

I've really not had any issues with Afrihost. When there are outages, they manage to get it fixed fairly quickly. They give constant updates on fixes. Their Whatsapp help is also very good. There has never been a time where they could not help me over Whatsapp to resolve my connection issues. All the staff have been kind so far.

Afrihost is the best. Professional remote IT consultants, great value for money. The excellent service and patience from Ricky Sithole, made me feel like I had my own IT techician, just like in a big company set up.

In my opinion Afriost is the best ISP out there. I live in a small "plattelandse dorpie " and we only had adsl. I used afrihost pure DSL for 10 years and finally changed to Afrihost Fixed LTE as no fiber available here. It's cheaper and much faster and I got the router free and fair useage policy on the 100mbps is 500gb. On the 50mbps it's 150 GB. With some other ISPs it's only 50gb. R599 pm month to month 100mbps , free R2500 worth router free delivery. Give afihove a try. You won't regret 50mbps is R399 pm Thanks afrihost

I've been with Afrihost for a good few years and they have been a great ISP. Their packages are great value for money and when it comes to resolving issues, they have a Whatsapp chat portal which makes it super simple to resolve any issues you may have in real time.

I have dealt with Afrihost for a number of years now and have found their service to be second to none. Reliable hosting on all of our websites, but most impressively, they have one of the best service departments I have encountered. Quick, accurate root cause identification and prompt service to remedy, even if the issue is of your own making.

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.

If DSL is not available in your area, we’ll check if any of our other data solutions are available. You can also choose to give us your details and we’ll let you know as soon as one of our Internet solutions becomes available in your area.
