Yvonne I am amazed 👏 by the patience and understanding you have. I canceled my account and wanted to confirm and after explaining my frustration the solution was given in an outstanding manner. On behalf of customers who still appreciate great customer service I would like to say KUDOS 👏 💐 🥳 TO Yvonne. You deserve all the greatest at Afrihost.

Afrihost has been the best ISP I've been with. I've been their client for around 6 years and I've been happy all that time. Great service and prompt response

I have been with Afrihost for a long time. We have had our ups and downs but they always pull through for me. Just had my second fibre line installed and going strong!

They provide mobile data and Fixed LTE data at affordable prices. The beauty is that their service can be configured on an app. There is no fixed contract and the app ensures that you can amend, top-up, upgrade or cancel any contract. Their service is very good and any deviation can be reported through the app. I can recommend them!

Chatting on whatsapp or through their call back service is such a pleasure. Would not hesitate in recommending this company. No.1 for service. Wish more companies would follow their lead.

I’ve been an Afrihost client for a few years now. I moved across because their pricing is excellent, and when I recently needed assistance porting another number I found the support to be outstanding (quick and involving contact with a real person😁, rather than the typically rubbish automated system). I can highly recommend Afrihost.

Brilliand service. Immediately trying to help you in the best way possible. It was everything done from a chat on Whatsapp and it is over a weekend. Definitely recommend them!

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.
