I’m a fan of Afrihost and have many products with them - data for my phones, Fixed LTE, ADSL and soon I’m getting Fibre. They are innovative and their support is usually good. I would find it difficult to move away from them as a service provider because they’ve been awesome since day 1.

Stellar Customer Care Experience with Afrihost During Fibre Outage - I recently experienced a fibre outage that lasted several hours, and I must commend Afrihost Customer Care for their exceptional service throughout this ordeal. From start to finish, their professionalism, efficiency, and dedication to resolving the issue were evident. The moment I reported the outage, Afrihost’s customer care team was quick to acknowledge my concern. Within minutes of logging my ticket, I received a confirmation email detailing the steps they were taking to diagnose and resolve the issue. This immediate response was reassuring and set a positive tone for the entire experience. Despite the complexity of the issue, Afrihost managed to restore my fibre connection faster than I anticipated. The technicians were efficient and thorough, ensuring that the problem was fully resolved. What impressed me further was the follow-up communication from the customer care team. They checked in to ensure that my service was back to normal and that I was satisfied with the resolution. In conclusion, Afrihost Customer Care exceeded my expectations during my recent fibre outage. Their prompt response, knowledgeable staff, proactive updates, and swift resolution have solidified my trust in their service. I highly recommend Afrihost for their outstanding customer care and unwavering commitment to their customers. Thank you, Afrihost, for turning a challenging situation into a positive experience!

Amazing service from Afrihost and their app is the most efficient and self empowering I have ever experienced with an ISP. I got connected within hours of selecting Afrihost and from call centre to app, I am more than impressed with the experience! Well done and other ISP's can learn a thing or 2 from you guys.

I just had the best chat experience ever with Afrihost WhatsApp chat with a Lady called Nkosana. She answered every question fully, she explained things that I didn't understand. I'm exceptionally pleased with Afrihost as a product and with regard to their service. Thank Nkosana and Afrihost!

Don’t waste your time with any other service provider. I have been using Afrihost for over a year now and have never experienced an issue that wasn’t resolved within the hour that I reported it. Great service.

I have used afrihost since 2014. So far it has been really good. Like any other thing there is ups and downs, I would like to say they have tried by all means to stay on top of the matter. Till today, i can happily say they are the best hosting company in South Africa if not the whole of Africa.

Rough start a few years ago with them, but back then the problem was more with Openserve. Been a client now for 3 years and truly can't complain. Constant, quality internet. No hassles when we moved house, and annual free upgrades to my fibre line. Happy customer!

Ordered a Fixed Lte on Sunday 1 Dec, the order was ready to be picked up on Monday 2 Dec, I walked into the Afrihost center, registered my name and cellphone number, waited for 10 min in the Que. While I waited, I was offered either coffee or water. The service is excellent

Glen really tried very hard to resolve the issue. Unfortunately this was not possible. However, he set a call up for me to bring the big guns. Thank you.
