It appears they've turned their service back around to how it was when they started. Helpful, responsive and back to the good ol' Afrihost excellence. I'm happy to put 5 stars here now.

Still the best out there. Great customer service and I can WhatsApp them any time within their operation hours and I'd get a issue sorted fast and thoroughly.

Afrihost is my provider of choice for both Fixed LTE as well as web hosting capabilities. They make use of modern technology and assist in resolving calls within a descent period of time. I would definitely recommend them to any existing and future clients.

This ISP rocks. I've bounced between a few over the years and none have come close to the customer service offered by Afrihost. After using them for over 12 years I only ever encountered a few problems, but those were mostly back in the ADSL days and were sorted out really quickly. Their fibre is phenomenal. When they say "uncapped, unshaped, unthrottled" they really mean it. Our line blazes at max speed 24/7 no matter the task. Plus their mobile data offering is best in class. I just added an MTN prepaid SIM to my phone's 2nd slot and loaded their data on which made for a really inexpensive way to get more data for like a quarter the price of buying from the big players. Seriously, check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Afrihost has given me superb service over the last 2 years. Speed exceeds my expectations and the whatsapp assist line is absolutely the best service/query platform. Great Job Afrihost 👏🏼

I’ve moved homes several times, and getting fibre up and running has always been a headache. It usually took more than a week, and I never once had it working on the same day I moved in. This time, with Afrihost and Openserve, the experience was completely different. Afrihost kept me in constant communication with regular updates, so I always knew what was happening. On the actual moving day, there was even a missing cable — and they had a technical agent on-site within 2 hours to fix it! I was honestly blown away. Everything was running smoothly the same day I moved in. Their service, reliability, and responsiveness truly set them apart. Afrihost is hands down the best ISP in South Africa.

Thank you for the great service over the years Afrihost!!. This is also the first company that has made the cancellation process painless - all done from the app. It is appreciated and I wish other organizations like Telcos could learn from you.
