Now this is 21st Century ISP! I am get pure Fibre, no shaping, no throttling, 30Mbps/30Mbps at R799, a super fast 3Gbps Wifi router for free and the application was all online within 5 minutes. No calls, no nonsense. Then for support they have an absolutely functioning whatsapp chat line with quality staff. I can say nothing bad about these guys.

I recently rejoined Afrihost after being with DSTV for a couple of years. I received a new router by courier and literally just connected the cable, nothing else. The whole experience from signing up to connection is painless. They really are exceptional!
