Chatting to a consultant was an absolute bliss. Richard assisted me very efficiently and he managed to get my issue resolved in a couple of minutes. Happy that you introduced the Whatsapp chat as a mode of communication with customers. Service at your fingertips.

I wanted a second independent fiber connection to the same house address - one apartment upstairs with a tenant in another apartment downstairs. AFTER 5 weeks with constant following up, YodaCom told me: "that's very complicated, impossible". Afrihost - carefully went through entire process with me, very patient agent communicating via Whatsapp, all organized, second apartment no problem, all sorted. Highly recommend Afrihost.

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 absolutely love the WhatsApp support line. Sometimes takes a while to connect to an operator, but certainly beats holding on the line listening to bad music, or an operator dropping your call after holding forever!

I have to be honest and say that I have only experienced the best service at Afrihost. Line stability and reliability is fantastic I had some many issues with my previous provider and have none of that with Afrihost. Excellent service

Afrihost is my preferred hosting provider for the websites I build. They are super helpful and the WhatsApp support is amazing. I dread working with other hosting providers and really notice the difference when a client has a different hosting company. I recommend that all my clients use Afrihost.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
