I’m changing my review back to 5 stars from 4. Have had Afrihost for years now and have always loved the unbeatable customer service! Quick shoutout to Sihle for sorting out my recent trouble (my fault actually)

Excellent service on the Afrihost Whatsapp messenging system. Thulani guided me through a tricky process and even sorted out some additional issues with patience and friendliness. 11/10

It appears they've turned their service back around to how it was when they started. Helpful, responsive and back to the good ol' Afrihost excellence. I'm happy to put 5 stars here now.

Called Afrihost after 2 years of not being a client to get information on my previous account and Nokwanda the agent was able to assist quickly and professionally within a few minutes whilst still keeping me informed via their WhatsApp channel and considering today is a public holiday 16 December.

Afrihost is amazing, they reply immediately on WhatsApp, oh and I mean immediately, 30 seconds is too long. Their only flaw is Vuma, you know Vuma, the one that doesn't reply to client emails and requests. But Afrihost talks to them for you, you don't have to do anything 🤌🏽

Had the best customer service via whatsapp service from Mr Lesley M. The patience and time he took to make sure my query is resolved showed the culture of afrihost as the best Fibre service provider! Kudos to Mr Lesley and Afrihost.

Ever since my Son put me on to Afrihost my problems as a senior citizen and data have come to an end. Most of my friends and family are tired of my continual praise for this site and your companies ethics. You have made a lot of people happy. Well done guys regards Cliff Smith.

Excellent service at all times using Afrihost WhatsApp services. Friendly, efficient and speedy Customer Service. I have used this platform regularly (easily more than 15 or 20 times) and always end the chat with my problem solved. Thank you Afrihost - keep up the fabulous customer service received from your willing and able personnel. I would recommend Afrihost as the preferred ISP to anybody that needs their queries answered "yesterday" already.

I've been with Afrihost for over a year. I find NO fault. If I've had problems, I find it VERY simple & easy to access help. I find their staff friendly & competent. Furthermore, dealing with/talking to the staff doesn't make me feel like a complete illiterate. Recommend whole heartedly (:

The agent who helped me was very warm and friendly, understood exactly what I was talking about and talked me through all the options available to me before I made a decision. Great service.

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!

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.
