Best ISP of all time. Been with Afrihost for a very long time. Rarely any problems, but if some pops up, their friendly team is always able to solve it without any frustration. They really go the extra mile for their clients.

Afrihost, is easy to work with, low hassle And quite upfront about their services (other companies hide their clawback fees, Afrihost tells you straight). The Customer Service, especially on WhatsApp, is friendly, quick and very helpful. It’s just too bad that referral codes don’t work for fibre. Other than that, I wish I could give them six stars. Truly, the best ISP experience I have had.

Been having wifi issues on fibre for a while. Contacted Afrihost via their whatsapp channel and was professionally assisted by Nonjabulo (for an hour). Tested the line using a laptop with their guidance and confirmed the fibre and speed are what I am paying for. The problem is the router! New one ordered, also with their assistance. One happy customer in the end.

I had the pleasure of receiving assistance from Lindiwe, and I must say her expertise, patience, and professionalism were truly impressive. My fibre line had multiple issues — more than usual — yet she handled each one calmly and efficiently over the phone. Lindiwe resolved every problem quickly, with clear explanations and genuine respect throughout the entire process. It’s rare to come across someone so knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring everything works perfectly. Her excellent service turned what could have been a frustrating situation into a smooth and hassle-free experience. Thank you, Lindiwe, for going the extra mile and for making sure my connection is up and running better than ever. Your help is greatly appreciated! P.S. I truly wish we, as South Africans, could learn to appreciate and uplift one another more — not be divided by the elites who keep us apart along racial lines. Despite all the struggles we face as a nation, the true spirit and kindness of our people always shine through. I have lived in the USA since 2008, and yet my heart remains tied to the resilience and warmth I see in everyday South Africans. It reminds me that no matter how tough things get, our shared humanity and compassion for each other are what make us strong. May we never lose that, and may we always find ways to stand together, beyond the divisions others try to create.

Their whatsapp assistant is fast and reliable. One of their agent by the name of Vuyo M, he went beyond to what I was expecting and assisted me, he kept asking if I was still there and solved my problem on the go. We need more people like Vuyo.

Really happy with the service so far. Everyone from Gift, the installation gentleman to Geraldo the gentleman who assisted me on their whatsapp chat is on the ball. Good efficient service. They clearly hire good people.

I had a query about one of the domain names registered in my name. Logged a query on ClientZone. I had a response in short moment but unfortinately I got busy with other things ... and could only complete my query after 17:30. Then I called and was redirected to using WhatsApp.afrihost.com. I got helped by Mike and was sorted within minutes. Thanks Mike. Excellent service Afrihost.

Mr Jackson R was super helpful for my technically challenged mind, he assisted with screen shots and asking if I was coming right all the time. Awesome service. Thanks Jackson.

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.
