My experience thus far is that Afrihost seems to have competent client facing people. When you explain a problem they understand, communicate effectively and take active steps to resolve it. I've been able to get assistance without hassles or holding or anything like that. Their portal is very easy to navigate and gets updated regularly to keep you informed. The Afrihost system has its problems, for instance I was billed and received confirmation that my line is active, yet no installation had taken place. They fixed this promptly though. Overall I'm very satisfied with Afrihost and Compared to Vodacom, Afrihost is tops! This is mostly due to their communication and their customer service people being competent and easy to reach.

In my experience Afrihost more stable despite using same fibre provider as competitors. The support rarely leaves me with a problem as well. Recommend them anytime.

Its been years after my first review, and nothing has changed. Afrihost has the most competent support staff that I've dealt with. Quick and professional.

A company that takes initiative with prepping your WiFi route before it’s delivered, making for a real plug and play experience. Their customer support is top notch, with a WhatsApp feature that makes it easy for those of us with social anxiety. Had their service for 6 months now, would highly recommend.

I think we often give reviews for negative things and while it's great to help others who want to know about a company or service, it is good to acknowledge great service. I have been with Afrihost for close to 5 years now and I am extremely happy with their service. They give excellent service honestly and are the best in the business. It's always prompt and efficient service and friendly chat agents on the WhatsApp service. Even when they do not have an immediate solution, they always keep you in the loop. Big ups to them.

Afrihost whatsapp service - So convenient, quick and responsive. Got all my queries handled far more efficiently than going through the call centre. And all outside of normal working hours. Definitely the way I will engage with Afrihost in the future. Well done.

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.

If DSL is not available in your area, we’ll check if any of our other data solutions are available. You can also choose to give us your details and we’ll let you know as soon as one of our Internet solutions becomes available in your area.
