I’ve been with Afrihost for close to 7 years now. Great service provider. Easy to reach with prompt responses. Reliable and affordable packages. No hoops to jump through just easy setup with a short notice period when stopping subscriptions and easy reconnect when you’re ready to start up where you left off.

Have been using Afrihost for years, and i can honestly say best service ever, when ever I have had issues they are there to assist and provide guidance. They are the best in my opinion.

I had a great experience with Andile, who assisted me on WhatsApp with my Wi-Fi questions. They were patient, friendly, and very knowledgeable, making everything easy to understand. I really appreciated how quickly they responded and how helpful they were throughout the conversation. Excellent customer service!

I’ve been with Afrihost for over 15 years, both for my business and personal needs. Their services are easy to use, and their client support is exceptionally quick and helpful. I’ve never encountered any issues with them or their service. Whether it’s setting up new connections or resolving queries, Afrihost has consistently delivered. Their reliable infrastructure and excellent security make them a top choice for South African web hosting and ISP. I highly recommend Afrihost!

To be honest my experience was amazing. Getting a new sim for a project and required it ASAP. Onndwela (Afrihost) helped to get it ready with in 2 minutes. Pending to ready for collection. I have been amazed and wish everything in South Africa worked this well. Even my experience when I went to collect the simcard 5minutes after it was approved was quick and painless. In and out within 5 minutes. And then activating the sim, inserted it into the phone and 3 minutes done I could browse. Inserted into the Reyee EW300T Router and done I had internet. No additional APN confg or anything. Really really amazing by Afrihost, not one hickup, and to be honest I never rated Afrihost this highly. Will consider Afrihost for all my upcoming internet requirements

Besides network speed that sometimes are less of what I have paid for ( it gets resolved within 24hours , its the BEST service I have an experience with, with regards to fiber. Client support is really a 10 out of 10 .

Outstanding Experience with Afrihost! From start to finish, Afrihost delivered exceptional service. Ordering our 5G package online was incredibly easy, the process was smooth, intuitive, and we were guided every step of the way with no hassles. The router was pre-configured before delivery, so all we had to do was plug it in and connect. We've been enjoying excellent, uninterrupted service ever since, and it's surprisingly affordable too! Delivery was lightning-fast, the router arrived the very next day. The courier from CourierIT was absolutely amazing. We had a medical emergency and missed the delivery, but they called later to check if my son was okay, asked if we were home, and offered to deliver it within minutes. Their friendliness and compassion meant so much during a stressful moment. Afrihost and their delivery partner truly went above and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable internet, outstanding customer care, and a seamless setup experience!

The best ISP by far. From data to hosting and all, the service is just so excellent there aren't enough words to describe. If you got a tech problem, just mention it and leave the rest to the best "A" team. I am very satisfied and would recommend their services to anyone hungry for success. Joel

I have been with Afrihost for about 6-8 years (not sure), but during that time, I have never considered using another ISP. They are helpful and friendly. If the infrastructure causes problems, people always tend to blame the ISP when it’s not their fault. I like dealing with Afrihost they are the best ISP I ever dealt with.

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.
