I had a problem with my infrastructure - the cable itself and I was able to chat to a representative of Afrihost via WhatsApp who logged a technician, gave me a reference number- and sorted me out in 5minutes. Not used to this level of service in SA and pleasantly surprised!

I'm super happy with Afrihost. The after-sales service is brilliant and they are so easy to deal with. Afrihost fixes problems quickly and with minimal effort required by me. It's also extremely affordable!

Webafrica is the real deal. No wonder for all their accolades since inception. Well done boys. Shout out to my colleague Greg Payne in the executive team. Hope all good buddy.

Great company. When migrating fibre just make sure you use the WhatsApp help to follow up regularly. If you leave them they will leave you for weeks without fibre with no updates when your line was active the whole time.

Afrihost is the best host service I have ever had. I particularly appreciate the excellent customer service and care. I was assisted by Jackson. I recommend Afrihost anyday

I had an excellent experience chatting with Nonjabulo. From the very beginning, Nonjabulo demonstrated a clear understanding of my needs and provided precise and helpful responses. The communication was smooth, efficient, and empathetic, making the entire process enjoyable. Nonjabulo's expertise and attentiveness made me feel valued and supported throughout our interaction. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Top notch professional service from Vusi G. Attentive, patient and professional. Connection done in less the 24 hours. One of the reasons I am a returning client.

Afrihost whatsapp service - So convenient, quick and responsive. Got all my queries handled far more efficiently than going through the call centre. And all outside of normal working hours. Definitely the way I will engage with Afrihost in the future. Well done.

I've never had issues with Afrihost. Their service has always been friendly, prompt and very capable of helping you find a solution to your problem. I have hosted with them for many years, personally and more recently on a business level and its been great! Definitely recommend them. They've shaken up the internet industry with their exceptional service. Keep going guys!

Still VERY happy I chose Afrihost, I'm on a neighborhood whatsapp group, the amount of times people post, asking if anyone else are having wifi/internet problems in our area, and we're just fine, like nope we're good, no issues our side...

There are not enough words that will describe the unbelievable service received from Mr Gian Visser, Kgothatso Lechuti and a gentleman whose name I unfortunately do not know. These 3 gentlemen went far and beyond for me and I am absolutely humbled by their kindness. Thank you to all.

I had a wonderful experience today when I made use of the WhatsApp function to help me with our business account. We thank Kaitlyn who understood the problem I was having without me even knowing what it was. She assisted and had given me step by step instructions to rectify the reason for the problem. Not once did I feel stupid as she translated into better terminology explaining what I needed to know and I thank her for it. Initially the thought of how we were going to fix the issue was daunting as it was a back and forth between myself and the web developers until I bit the bullet and asked Afrihost to help. I wish I had just done it sooner instead of wasting time. May you all have a lovely day.

Afrihost has been my go-to isp for more than 10yrs, just ordered a new fibre line and patiently waiting for installation while knowing the services and help they offer is always very professional and quick

Super amazing to deal with this company. Problems almost don't seem to be problems. Fixed my issue in a flash. Been a customer for almost 6 years and only had to contact them twice for help. Both times an amazing experience, problems sorted in a flash.

Great service, was in store this morning to collect a sim card & modem. The collection and sim activation process was painless and once I had configured the modem to my existing network I was up and running.

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
