I had a gentleman by the name of Thulanie that went above and beyond to assist me. And to top it off, he closed off the call and sent a blessing to me and my family. I mean, the tears came down because it was exactly what I needed to hear at that very moment 🙏🏾 bless his heart!

I’ve had some problems with their service at times over nearly 20 years but all in all I’ve found Afrihost much better than ISPs I’ve tried previously and since the introduction of fibre it’s generally been plain sailing.

I highly recommend Afrihost , I’ve been with them now for a year, struggled through loadshedding and my wife working from home with them, I’ve always had the best and extremely quick customer service with them. Only cancelled now due to relocation and installation cost with frogfoot being a bit high. If a free installation package becomes available I will definitely be switching back. All the best.

I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate having the live chat assistance from an Afrihost technician over Whatsapp. This Saturday morning George assisted me over Whatsapp with patience and understanding with router issues after problems with our OpenServe fibre line was fixed. Afrihost, you are setting a high standard in customer service, service on a level that I can only dream of from other vendors. I would recommend Afrihost without reservation to all my friends and family. Thanks a million.

I have always received the utmost care and good customer service from Afrihost. Even when I am in the wrong, they try to be most accommodating to my customer satisfaction. I applaud them for that, and I can definitely recommend them to anyone for all their services. Thanks for listening.

Best Technical consultant I've ever dealt with in anything. I sent a message to their whatsapp. FUMANJI responded and helped me sort out my wifi after I was getting terrible signal for 2 weeks straight only to find out router software was faulty. He replied to each one of my whatsapps within seconds of my response and didn't leave me hanging until the problem was solved. Give this man a Bells! Honestly jokes aside best service ever from consultant.

Good quality service. I had an issue with my line, but The whatsapp option to raise issues is awesome. Feedback is provided very quickly and my issues resolved within less than 15 minutes. No issues from my side. Rarely do we have internet issues or experience long periods of downtime.

Guys there is no other ISP like Afrihost. PLEASE NEVER consider any other ISP. Service, responsiveness and other fabulous descriptive words don't begin to describe the Staff and the Company. Love Afrihost to bits 💘

Checking Pure DSL coverage

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.
