Great service always. Especially considering that Afrihost negotiates difficult clients and fibre service providers who may not always be reliable

After some time away as a customer, I am returning to the ISP that first got me connected, this time to use their relaunched AirMobile service. So far, my interactions with the service agents has been very favourable.

To be honest my experience was amazing. Getting a new sim for a project and required it ASAP. Onndwela (Afrihost) helped to get it ready with in 2 minutes. Pending to ready for collection. I have been amazed and wish everything in South Africa worked this well. Even my experience when I went to collect the simcard 5minutes after it was approved was quick and painless. In and out within 5 minutes. And then activating the sim, inserted it into the phone and 3 minutes done I could browse. Inserted into the Reyee EW300T Router and done I had internet. No additional APN confg or anything. Really really amazing by Afrihost, not one hickup, and to be honest I never rated Afrihost this highly. Will consider Afrihost for all my upcoming internet requirements

Thank you Afrihost for always being available to assist with any query and also handling it with patience. You are honestly the best service provider I have worked with. I will recommend you to anyone just because of your service!

So I have been with Afrihost for almost a year, it was a rocky road to be honest in the beginning (bad customer care), but all things said and looking at the entire situation as a whole - I would say the positives do out way the negatives. My biggest gripe was having to work with Openserve in trying to successfully schedule a day for Fiber installation, spoiler, four bookings were made and confirmed by Openserve, that never went anywhere, they just would not show up, regardless of the four "technicians", times or dates, they are unreliable in every sense of the word, and I would highly suggest Afrihost drop their partnership with them asap.

Was nice to deal with afrihost... Unfortunately im moving and they don't have a service there at the moment... But ill highly recommend the services they offer at Afrihos. Also their reaction time to get our fiber up and running if something out if their control happened like someone broke a pole and snapped the fiber cables was really outstanding. I used them for 2 years and could not fault their service once

My very first interaction with Afrihost and my am I a happy chappy. That is definately an understatement. I am rather techno challenged, I have recently signed up with Afrihost, you are able to communicate with them via whatsapp. I did so and shortly after I sent my msg, Nompumelelo responded. She showed me where I could find my information that I was looking for and then continued to check to see that I was assisted. Imagine me, an older lady from the stix that is techno challenged and they were able to help me in no time. I am impressed. Thank you Afrihost.

(Translated by Google) Excellent Service and Reliable Internet! I have been using Afrihost for some time now and am extremely happy with their service. The internet speed and stability are excellent, and I have experienced few problems. When I need support, their customer service is professional and quick to help. Afrihost also offers good value for money. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable internet provider! (Original) Uitstekende Diens en Betroubare Internet! Ek gebruik Afrihost al geruime tyd en is uiters tevrede met hul diens. Die internetspoed en stabiliteit is uitstekend, en ek het nog min probleme ervaar. Wanneer ek ondersteuning nodig het, is hul kliëntediens professioneel en vinnig om te help. Afrihost bied ook goeie waarde vir geld. Ek beveel hulle beslis aan vir enige iemand wat 'n betroubare internetverskaffer soek!

Their service and customer service in particular is always quick and efficient. Any issues I have had, I had used the Whatsapp helpline and been assisted quickly with solutions to my issue.

Super amazing. Been with the service now for 5 years - starting with just email domain, then website hosting, now added wifi to the packages. Always available to assist (when it's not after hours), super friendly and efficient. Would totally recommend to other consumers looking for reliable and tech-savvy providers.

I am currently undergoing chemo therapy and needed to rebuild my PC from scratch. My eyesight is limited at this stage. Musi helped me step by step restoring my e-mail service. His knowledge and patience is a credit to the company. Thank you Musi. You made this old man happy again.

Always have to interact with them. Easy, quick and sufficient service. I've been with Afrihost for a couple of years and always recommended them to family, friends and strangers on Facebook. Excellent service

Moving house at the age of 80 can be quite a challenge! Disrupted comms when the move is protracted can make the experience worse! A good service provider is essential.
