Absolutely in agreement. Afrihost have set a standard in SA that the other ISP’s have to match in order to maintain / expand their customer base.

Im very pleased to be a part of the internet revolution in SA. Now we simply need to get Telkom onboard…

Go Gian, we love you man.

If it wasn’t for Arfihost we would still be in the dark ages. They put some pressure into the system.

I’m not likely to switch providers ever again, they have gained my loyalty with great service and great awareness on what people want.

Thanks Gian

Afrihost’s service is nothing short of brilliant. You can’t put a price on it.

Having previously been an MWEB customer and then defecting, I can truly say the service that Afrihost provides eclipses most companies hands down. I get more GIGS now at a decent speed, and I rarely reach or surpass my cap. Going back to MWEB would be a waste, Ill be patient and wait for Afrihost to match or better the MWEB offer, hell even if it cost slightly more, it would still be the better deal!

Switched to Afrihost last week . Fantastic service. Our only regret is not making the move sooner!

We used Telkom as an isp before and were absolutely ‘robbed”, then my daughter told us about Afrihost and we have been using them since December 2009, what a world of difference..

I agree with Brandon. Their service is just fabulously outstanding.

Having used Afrihost for hosting and more recently their prepaid ADSL packages, I have been most impressed. Their customer service is outstanding – every interaction I have had with their service desk has made me feel like part of their family, rather than ‘just another customer’.

This is what sets them apart from any other ISP I have dealt with. Well done Afrihost – looking forward to your new offering!

Amaising what can happen when someone like MWEB sets the lead. Free the web!

when i asked tekom to install a telkom line at my house i didn’t even imagine i could afford uncapped adsl… now it seems i can afford uncapped adsl and at decent line speeds but am still waiting for telkom to deliver me a line… 2 months now.

its fine dropping all these prices but what about people like me who live in a telkom line rich area but still can’t access this broadband.

Been away from the Net for 2 days , and wow I get hit by this bombshell Congrats Gian – Afrihost is the leader in knocking prices down and making broadband affordable , not Telkom Mwebs

I make no claims to being a broadband expert, but having watched some of the developments in the sector over the last couple of months it would appear that Afrihost and their product offering have done a lot to influence Mwebs decision

MASSIVE props to Afrihost for their attitude – most the other ISPs have nitpicked Mweb’s AUP, or another little aspect of their service, and tried to win support that way, but Afrihost recognises Mweb is a worthy opponent and is carrying on fighting. It’s nice to see there are still people who are willing to take the hard road and win customers honestly.
