I'm loving the network coverage already and the fact that their products takes a bit longer to expire. The technical support is even excellent. I recommend it to everyone.

Maybe the best service provider in South Africa possibly the world. Any issues that I've faced have been resolved in a timely manner even as far as during early mornings (2am). They are always friendly and put you first. They offer total control over your account and subscription allowing you to upgrade and downgrade as your wallet allows. I recommend them to anyone that is in need of fast internet and service.

I have been with Afrihost since 2021 and honestly I can not think of any other hosting company that is top class like Afrihost. Excellent staff, very reasonable priced packages, top of the art technology. Afrihost is simply the best.

Afrihost would do well to hire more representatives like Ethan C. I accidentally initiated a new chat after a somewhat frustrating conversation with another agent and well I am glad it happened as it turned a mediocre experience into a fantastic one. All because of the immensely positive attitude that he had. Made getting shafted by Openserve deciding to not repair our DSL service slightly more bearable. Well off I go to look for a stop gap until Openserve decides to move along with actually bringing fibre into our complex instead of calling it good enough to have brought them to the gate…

I had some hick-ups when upgrading my account which saw me without internet for a week but Afrihost resolved the problem and from there on I enjoy great connectivity at the correct speed.

I recently started Infinite Edge Marketing and decided to become an Afrihost client. They offer a wide variety of products, affordable and functional. Excellent customer service, product range, service delivery and much more. Would recommend them to anyone.

I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Onndwela M from Afrihost, and I must say the service was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, Onndwela handled my query with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Every step was explained clearly, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the interaction. It’s rare to come across someone who combines efficiency with such a personable approach, but Onndwela did exactly that. I would confidently rate the service a 10 out of 10. Afrihost should be proud to have such a dedicated team member representing them. Thank you, Onndwela, for turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience.

After having received mediocre service from the the folk at Yebo Gogo. It was refreshing to get excellent service without the frustration of call centres. From collection, installation and after sales queries, I received prompt and efficient resolution to all my queries. Great service all round 👏

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.
