Great sim card that wont let you down. Is load shedding fading off ur network connection- leaving u in the dark and also without connection?? No problem! cause the network of this sim card is top-notch- stays connected even when it's 7 years of load shedding. The internet speed is to die for and what i love most about this masterpiece of a sim card is it's slow call ratings( believe me you could talk for hours 🤳). So if a speedy internet + lowest call rating is your thing ( at an amazing price 😃) then Afrihost is for you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ N.B you wont regret it that's a fact.

I'm very happy with Afrihost. I've been using Afrihost for hosting my website and creating my domain. I'm new to the whole process and I've dealt with 6 or more Afrihost staff. They were always willing to help and assist with all my questions. They were all very friendly and didn't mind simplifying the terminology to make things easier to understand.

This was my fist interaction with Afrihost and normally I am very sceptic on how services can be through electronic communication, but I was very impressed with how this was done. My contact person, Gershom was very helpful. He answered all my questions in a supper fast and effective way and on top of that was also very friendly. Thank you for making my first contact with you a pleasures to do business with. This is the beginning of a long relationship and I am glad we started off so good. Keep it up and well done.

Very helpful whatsapp line. Their service charges what they say they will with no nasty hidden costs that I have found with other prominent south african web hosting services.

Very happy with Afrihost, since 2018. Every few months they upgrade our fibre speed without charging more. Customer service is also top notch. Got a free router upgrade this week too. Keep it up.

They are very nice to work with, they get the job done while still being polite and respectful to the clients requirements and timeline. I think that they are the perfect image of how a business should treat their clients

I recently moved to Afrihost from a previous provider that had little to non customer service and terrible connectivity. It took only a few chats with the Afrihost agents to sort out a package best for me, how to pay and what my waiting time would be on the order. One of their best attributes is that they believe in customer care and using their WhatsApp customer care line was magic, I totally recommend Afrihost just for that! They also host a website and email accounts for me, no problems whatsoever. If you are looking for a great service provider, look no further!

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.

Afrihost has a WhatsApp chat, that assist with faults. I found this chat helpful. The person assisting was patient, helpful, understanding, and knowledgeable. This makes the process to get faults reported very easy.

Been with Afrihost for some time and I always suggest Afrihost as the Fibre provider to other potential clients. No billing issues and easy to use. The only 'complaint' is that the cost of Fibre is very high but that is probably the Provider Vumatel

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.
