I haven't received better customer service from any company like I've received from Afrihost. We have recently signed up with them for a fibre line and the efficiency from the time we completed the online application was just outstanding. Really such a pleasure to deal with Afrihost.

Sometimes there are some issues, but not enough for me to make their service any less than a 5. And when there are problems it's out of anyone's hands, but Afrihost still works tirelessly to fix it ASAP. And every time I have needed support help they were able to help me in less than an hour. Truly fantastic.

Afrihost is amazing, they reply immediately on WhatsApp, oh and I mean immediately, 30 seconds is too long. Their only flaw is Vuma, you know Vuma, the one that doesn't reply to client emails and requests. But Afrihost talks to them for you, you don't have to do anything 🤌🏽

Tuesday 30 April 2024 My line with RSAWeb was cancelled. I've been very disappointed by their service lately. Their pricing didn't link accordingly with their service levels. Wednesday 01 May 2024 I signed up with Supersonic. Chose my package, submitted my documents, everything. Thursday 02 May 2024 The entire morning I was battling to get confirmation from Supersonic regarding my order. I phoned, but no answer. I sent WhatsApp messages, no reply. I cancelled my order with Supersonic. Thursday 02 May 2024 I signed up with Afrihost. My fiber line was activated same day and my router arranged. Friday 03 May After I failed to connect the router for WiFi, Afrihost assisted me to connect my existing router so we can have WiFi while waiting for the new router. Quick and effective assistance received. Monday 06 May I received my router. I had challenges with the settings and Ricky took me step by step via WhatsApp. I'm sorted and everything is in order. I haven't experienced this level of service in a very long time. Afrihost is the service provider you need. Their service levels are very high, support staff are quick and efficient. They easily get a 10/10 rating from me. I have faster Mbps at a cheaper rate with Afrihost and excellent service on top of it. That's a powerful combination to have 💪🏽💯

Good service provider with a personal touch from the CEO. Any problems I have are generally solved rapidly with little more than a WhatsApp. Line is stable and I always have the speed I pay for.

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Refentse for their outstanding assistance with my recent fibre installation query. From the moment I reached out, Refentse was professional, patient, and genuinely committed to resolving my concern. They took the time to listen, provided clear and accurate information, and followed through without delay. It’s rare to come across service that feels both efficient and human—but Refentse delivered exactly that. Their calm demeanor and willingness to help turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Thank you, Refentse, for your excellent support and for going the extra mile. Your help made a real difference

Afrihost is my web host of choice because of their friendly, efficient service and amazing support team. I never had any problems with them, even on my month to month mobile data deals that I had in the past.

As usual Afrihost always comes through with solutions, not excuses and they are quick to respond when called upon. That in itself is sorely lacking in my experience with other similar service providers, Thanks Guys

Afrihost’s chat line on wattsapp is really a pleasure to engage with. The response was instantaneous and the assistant was knowledgeable and keen to assist. Well done Afrihost

Had to get back to Afrihost since Frogfoot didn't receive a submission with all the necessary documents for my fibre migration application. Larry S was very quick to assist me with a resubmission from Afrihost's side.

Excellent wifi service, in terms of both connection stability & strength, as well as fast responses via Whatsapp when dealing with any issues.

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.
