Afrihost has really been the best throughout. I've been using afrihost since 2018 and can truelly say there has been no hiccups. I did a relocate with them which has been done in less than a week. I'd highly recommend afrihost to anyone looking for a solid internet connection.

Great hosting service. Interruptions are non-existent, their support service on WhatsApp is absolutely wonderful! Give them the basics and they can do magic!

I have been with Afrihost as my domain service provider for a few years. Their customer service is very good and the online system makes my life so much easier than waiting for a third party service provider to respond. I load and delete emails as i need and also design my own website with their sitebuilder which is very userfriendly

The consultants on WhatsApp are prompt in their responses, resolve of the problem and turn around time. My consultant Sakhile was very efficient in assisting me, within 5min of me reaching out.

I am so impressed with the excellent customer service I received from Tinyiko. She was patient, professional, and very attentive to my needs. Tinyiko went the extra mile to make sure everything was handled smoothly and left me feeling valued as a customer. Her friendly attitude and willingness to assist made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Thank you Tinyiko, for your outstanding service. I am truly satisfied and would highly recommend her to anyone!

I was an mweb customer. Incredible wait times to get a chat going, and then supa slow chat responses. I looked at webafrica ... Didn't like the R1000 termination fee. I tried Axxess,... Incredibly slow and long waits to get to a service agent, who was servicing multiple people at the same time. A conversation that should take 3 minutes taking 15 , at the time when I was trying to give them money. Afrihost worlds apart. Used the whattsapp tool and was in contact with a focused representative almost immediately. Got the fiber deal I wanted and am sorted. Goodbye mweb, hello happy days.

The best part about Afrihost is their customer support. I’ve had minor glitches but I’ve almost always had a good experience. Chatting to them via WhatsApp is quite convenient and highly recommended!

After having trouble with another ISP. I contacted Afrihost and through them Vumatel came to install fibre and I got my WiFi router all set up in a week. Really happy!

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.

Outstanding service from Afrihost, consistently. After struggling with my previous fibre provider, Waiting 6 weeks for them to relocate my services to a new address, I decided to cancel and try Afrihost. I had fibre in my home 48 hours later and I’ve been happy ever since. Keep it that way team Afrihost.

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.
