I've never had any issues with AfriHost. My lines are never "down" and I'm even moving over to their new AirMobile and looking forward to it. Would recommend to anyone.

The service from Afrihost is absolutely amazing with very efficient and friendly consultants. Nokwanda was a superstar and assisted me immediately. I promote Afrihost to everyone wherever I go, as they are the best fibre provider and deserve all the credit they get. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Excellent service. WhatsApp chat very helpful... Been with Afrihost for years and service is excellent. Staff always helpful. Pricing of products great. Suggest Mtn data offered by Afrihost consider offering specific WhatsApp data purchase for those that need to use WhatsApp for work purposes whereby WhatsApp data and calls be used for WhatsApp only and STD data be used for general internet usage. Ensures that if STD data runs out u still have WhatsApp data for WhatsApp use for work and emergency and calls. Something Afrihost must try to negotiate with mtn and offer to Afrihost/Mtn clients additional to the STD data pckg offers.

Signed with another ISP in Feb 2021. No successful installation with them so cancelled yesterday (27th May. Signed with Afrihost yesterday (27th May after confirming cancellation of previous ISP). Installation and config completed today (28th May!) Very happy to recommend this company as ISP

Its always good to work with Afrihost, yes there are some hiccups but this is sorted really quick if you bring it to their attention. There call support always tries to help you to the best of their ability. I have had a small few where it just seems like the caller is reading from a document and not using logic, most of them help you without those pre-typed questions and answers. The internet is good as well, stable for most of the month, when its not that stable you still get around 60% of your line. Well done on the work and efforts you put in.

Not being technically savvy I followed the instructions on the wizard with some trepidation... I was still unsure so asked for help to check my configuring. Along with a few more questions such as how to get wifi to my TV and is a LAN cable the same as the Ethernet cable🤔 my questions were patiently answered I am now up and running.... thank you..

Afrihosters are like brothers and sisters one never had. Never had a bad experience with them, even after a long time charting or speaking direct on the phone. Was charting to George earlier, the guy is just awesome.

Easy to join and set up their wifi service. Various subscription options to cater for a variety of needs. Hassle free internet connectivity. Whatsapp assistance is superb.

Getting started with Pure DSL

Unlike regular DSL, you do NOT need to pay for a voice landline that you don’t even use. With Pure DSL you only pay for the DSL line rental and data - saving you more than R200 every month!

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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.
