@Afrihost The servers have been going down for weeks now. When is this going to be sorted or do we have to look for a new service provider

@Afrihost Servers are still offline and the outage from 6:30 has the best and most bs message ever "hope to have it reoslved shortly"

@stefan_in_cape @shawnawalters00 That's correct, Stefan. I just wanted to make sure if you're also affected before I could conclude that the outage involves your too.

Hey @Afrihost internet just went down. Openserve backbone in Durban/Durban North area

I had an internet outage, which actually turned out to be something of an area outage. @OpenserveZA was so good with their support and updates. Sorry but I was shocked. @Afrihost was quite awful. The customer care centre was unhelpful. Worst service ever and I have low standards.

Hi @OpenserveZA @Afrihost, is there a known issue in the Maraisburg area? My internet is currently down, and it seems lots of others in my area are currently down

Hey @Afrihost fix the KZN outage please… trying to work here

Is it just me or is the service with @Afrihost getting ridiculous? I’ve been waiting for feedback on my fiber line which is down since Sunday. In 2025? What type of service is this? I am being sent from pillar to post for a service that I pay for.

Is Afrihost still down? Businesses need to migrate if this is always happening.

Internet is down again @Afrihost one whole Sunday and this morning again, when will you start issuing pro rata refunds for your customers? Why is @Metro_Fibre down again?

What is going on at @Afrihost? Their ClientZone appears to be down, and no one is manning their WhatsApp support chat? Anyone else having this problem?

Hey @Afrihost and @vumatel your service is atrocious. My Internet has been down for 4 days and all you guys can say "we have to escalated the ticket to the service manager at Vumatel". How about an ETR, how about providing feedback? How about providing service?

If you are on Afrihost fiber and your internet is down due to the DHCP problem, you can set a static IP address and it will work 👍

Woke up to my wifi not working.
Yho sana Afrihost is the ghetto.
And I subject myself to them all the time because when they work, they work.

Is Afrihost down right now?
Afrihost appears to be working normally — report volume is within the typical range for this time of day.
Why is Afrihost not working for me?
We're not detecting a broad Afrihost outage right now, so a problem is most likely local to you — your internet connection, device, or the app. Try restarting the app, then your router. If many people report the same issue, this page will update to show it.
When was the last Afrihost outage?
We have no recorded outages for Afrihost yet.
How do I report a Afrihost problem?
Use the “Report a problem” button on this page and choose what's not working. Reports are anonymous and update the live status and outage map in real time.
How does Outage.Report know if Afrihost is down?
We aggregate anonymous user reports and monitor public social-media posts, comparing live volume against Afrihost's normal baseline for the time of day and region to detect anomalies — often before they're officially confirmed.
