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 👏🏼

Really great service from sales to support. And you can sort things out on Whatsapp on a Sunday. And after being with them for more than 3 years, they upgraded me from 10 to 20 Mb/s for same price. What a great brand!

The quality of service i've received from Afrihost makes me wonder if it's actually possible to do better than them... What would better actually look like? Thank you Afrihost for a phenomenal service always.

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 .

I have been using Afrihost for over 10 years, and I have always been pleased with their service. Despite a lot of ISPs to choose from, I have not been able to find a reason to bother looking others.

I’m an Afrihost customer for more than 8 years now, first with hosting, then LTe then ADSL & now fibre. Service is excellent as the WhatsApp help desk works perfectly. Their agents are well trained and ask the right questions (I’m in IT support). Minimal downtime, even with load shedding.

Sicelo G is an absolute superstar. The patience was beyond with me. This is why I will not use anybody else. The WhatsApp support is efficient, knowledgeable and patient which must be quite a challenge at times I am sure.

I would like to thank the support agent Veronica C for all her assistance yesterday. she went beyond the call of duty to ensure my fibre was reconnected after 6 days of downtime due to failure on vodacoms side. I called in at 4:55pm, Veronica finishes work at 5pm. I live 1km away from my residence, she waited for me to get home to finalize the configuration. whilst waiting for me to get home she called her husband to advise him that she is going to be late to fetch her baby from creche and made arrangements for him to do it. I felt really bad for this. however as soon as i got home, the config was done and up and running within a minutes. Veronica is definitely an asset to Afrihost and went beyond the call of duty to ensure excellent customer service. Well done Veronica.

In process of changing ISP's and Afrihost have made it simple, efficient and a pleasure. Love their WhatsApp chat functionality - they answered my questions quickly and helped with the order process. Let's see what happens in the next stage of my migration.....but if this is anything to go by, I know it will be seamless and professional!

I recently decided to dump my old providers. Boy am I glad I did. Afrihost has shown just how bad the others were. Their whatsapp actually works unlike WA. Ricky was excellent, patient and had the answers. Great job. Was up and running in minutes

I've been with Afrihost for 3 years now, and I have had the most amazing experience with them. I have had to relocate my fibre three times and they are so helpful.

Very helpful, patient and skilled agents. Convenient as well because most of my issues were sorted via Whatsapp. I'm extremely happy with Afrihost's service.

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.
