I set up my parents fibre account. The fibre was installed by vumatel and Afrihost their ISP. As Afrihost wasn’t open, I tried the WhatsApp function. Germaine was the person helping me on the other end. He/She was really professional, helpful and we managed to set up the fibre and get everything working in no time. Really GREAT service. Thank you!

My experience with Afrihost has been amazing, the agents are kind understand your issue and tries to help to the best of their ability. Unfortunately Openserve makes their jobs a bit harder... Amazing team @ Afrihost: Sfiso M, Siphamandla N, Siphiwe M. I've dealt with these 3 agents and they clearly show that Afrihost is a top notch company. @ Management well done on having these amazing agents, I'm sure the company is overrun with top staff. Keep it up and THANK YOU all for an amazing service....Can someone put some flames under Openserve's behinds so my fibre can be up and running..... It's now 16days of waiting ugh Thanks Shafz

Amazing service, i ordered a new wifi product and was setup within the same day. The whatsapp technician was an absolute star and made it easy to configure my wifi.

I love Afrihost. Their service is one of the rarest. All consultants are very friendly and kind, they're very responsive and forever ensures you understand they are working to resolve what your issues are by constantly checking in on the customer. I requested for an immediate call back service at 22:11 and the a lady called me immediately. I thought it was a hoax but everything they say about their reputation as a company and the level of service they offer, I'm glad to say that they're 110% correct. You can't go wrong, I am a living and breathing happy client ✨️ 🤗❤️

I have been with Afrihost since 2013 and never had bad experience. I do all my data through Afrihost. I have 10Gig of data on my phone a month for only R150, and I think it is a very good deal. My data doesn't disappear like other people. The best service provider for me and my friends that use Afrihost now. 20 day + 20 knight data for my router at only R119, is a good price for me. Thanks Gian and your staff that make this possible.

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.

Friendly and fast in resolving my Fibre activation. Well done Afrihost on awesome customer service experience... Keep up the good excellent work

I just want to say how impressed I am with the service I received today. I was expecting to have to email hosting myself and wait forever for a response (especially since it’s a Sunday), but the agent stepped in and handled everything for me directly. They made the whole process so seamless and saved me so much time. Huge thanks for going above and beyond!

My 2 year LTE contract with a mobile service provider ended in March 2020 - about the time when we had a national lockdown because of Covid-19. I have then decided to take the fibre option from one of the big cellular providers. These guys sent me from pillar to POST with the router, the temporary LTE and getting me up and running. When I contacted Afrihost, I have been assisted telephonically to determine my requirements. They've handled all the admin of cancelling the service which I did not receive from the other service provider and I have received my router on the same day. Afrihost did not dissapoint! It was the first time that I have received such great and quality service from a big brand in South Africa!!! I was able to work from home, with quality high speed internet!!! Afrihost is the BEST!... By far! Thank you Faith, Artur and Ruvan!
