My isp is Afrihost but the fibre through Vuma. I never have issues with Afrihost. Always a lovely interaction with the agents. Vumatel seems to be the issue. I have had no internet for a few days now. This is not the first tike this has happened. Last time i was without internet for 14 days. And i not provided an extension or "free" month for the 14 day loss. Anyway. Afrihost has been absolutely fantastic with every interaction.

Afrihost is my web host of choice because of their friendly, efficient service and amazing support team. I never had any problems with them, even on my month to month mobile data deals that I had in the past.

Very helpful and efficient agents. Sorted my connectivity issues with ease. My only comment is that some business run 24 hours and may need internet connection to trade. After 11pm there no way to get hold of Afrihost to sort out any problems

Good quality service. I had an issue with my line, but The whatsapp option to raise issues is awesome. Feedback is provided very quickly and my issues resolved within less than 15 minutes. No issues from my side. Rarely do we have internet issues or experience long periods of downtime.

This Company is absolutely fabulous!!! I've tried all the service providers before and what a waste of time they all were. Afrihost couldn't help us at the time as we had no towers close by, but their SERVICE was excellent! They went out of their way to help us! Very rare!! After sales service is extremely important to us. Now that we moved we have been with Afrihost for 3 years. Fast installation. Very good rates. Never had a single problem with our WiFi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you Afrihost

I was so pleased with the Themba that I requested to speak with her again. But the system picks the first avaiable operator. But the assistance is great.

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.

Went to go pick up my router from Afrihost HQ today and the level of service from the staff was excellent, no complaints from the service delivery on my FTTH either! Thank you Afrihost!

Been with Afrihost since it's inception and have always experienced the best customer service I've ever experienced from any South African service provider, not just ISPs. Their prices are competitive, they have great deals for their customers, they're responsive and responsible. I've tried others and keep going back to Afrihost. Best ISP in SA. 10/10 would recommend.

Best ISP out there. If there's something wrong they fix it very quickly. Customer service is great over whatsapp. No waiting in an queue on the phone for days. Would absolutely recommend.

Excellent service from Afrihost. I have fibre lines and mobile packages with Afrihost and am very satisfied with the service. Highly recommended.

I just want to say how impressed I am with the service I received today. I was expecting to have to email hosting myself and wait forever for a response (especially since it’s a Sunday), but the agent stepped in and handled everything for me directly. They made the whole process so seamless and saved me so much time. Huge thanks for going above and beyond!

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.
