I was assisted by Prince on the Afrihost whatsaap help centre, firstly there was no waiting time, Prince immediately texted me and helped me with an issue that another ISP could not help me with, he did this within a couple of minutes, sent proof and assured me that my issue will be handled accordingly. I am grateful to Prince and the team at Afrihost for their excellent customer service and their willingness to help with my issue.

Slight more expensive Fibre but brilliant service and amazing internet speeds. Also their automated services means I was up and running in no time. Literally 30 min.

(Translated by Google) I would recommend Afrihost anytime. Their service is great and feedback on an issue is quick. They just make everything easier. Good service is rare in South Africa. (Original) Ek sal enige tyd Afrihost aanbeveel. Hulle diens is puik en terugvoer oor 'n kwessie is vinnig. Hulle maak alles net makliker. Goeie diens is skaars in Suid Afrikaans.

I've been a loyal customer of Afrihost for several years now, and I must say, their service has been consistently outstanding! My websites have enjoyed uninterrupted uptime, thanks to their reliable hosting. Their Customer portal is not only user-friendly but also incredibly efficient. Whenever I require assistance, reaching out to them via WhatsApp has been a breeze. Impressed by their hosting services, I decided to switch to Afrihost as my ISP a year ago, and it's been a decision I'm grateful for. And now, with the addition of AirMobile to their service offerings, they've only further solidified my satisfaction. Kudos to Afrihost! Proud to be one of your satisfied clients!

Afrihost is the best, their fibre network is the best I have ever used and their agents are on point; always ready and willing to help. I also like the WhatsApp chat, very easy to use and convenient for me.

Afrihost is great if you are persistent with them else they don’t follow up with a new client to ensure that the customer is sorted. However their WhatsApp communication line is outstanding and your problems are immediately tackled there.

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.
