Been with Afrihost for some time and I always suggest Afrihost as the Fibre provider to other potential clients. No billing issues and easy to use. The only 'complaint' is that the cost of Fibre is very high but that is probably the Provider Vumatel

Been with Afrihost for almost 4 years now. Never had any major issues, and when I experienced any minor issues, support staff are always quick to assist, friendly and helpful.

I've been with Afrihost since the 2020 pandemic when I started working from home full time. At the of the switch I was with another local service provider and was having consistent problems with the network. Signing on was quick and I was up and running before I needed to start my work day. They are also always an email or whatsapp message away if I need assistance or have questions about products. Definitely a company that thing of their customers as much more than just cash value.

Great service, never had problems with net work. And monthly data expires every other month so you never run out of data as a the new data add ontop of the last month data.

I am struggling for 4 days with Supersonic with no luck!! I will never ever recommend them. I have contacted Afrihost and immediately got service and excellent service too. I will definitely recommend Afrihost to anybody, especially for working moms doing meetings and homeschooling in lockdown where you need internet

Afrihost's WhatsApp chat platform is one of the best, you are actually chatting to a person and not a machine. Responses are detailed and informative. Yvonne checked if my area has LTE coverage, available packages and more. Thank you

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.

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.
