I needed assistance. Contacted Afrihost via their WhatsApp helpline. Query was handled promptly and professionally by knowledgeable agent (Thabiso D). Given the attitude of so many other 'service' (?) providers, this was a very pleasant surprise.

Whatsapp chat option was a pleasure to use. smooth and stress free. I left Super Sonic to come to Afrihost. Within 20 mins Afrihost technician sorted out over whatsapp what Super Sonic couldnt do in 2 months. Extremely happy with Afrihost!

I have been with Afrihost for more than two years for my Fibre services in Cape Town and they are very efficient and professional. I moved to Pretoria in Centurion and it is a pity I don't see you in my area because I'm desperately in need of cheaper and professional Fibre services this side. If you also provide services this side please let me know.

Kulie, Sakhile, Richard, Elvirna, Kate, Larry, Rhulani, Germaine and Thulanie to name but a few Afrihost support staff very friendly,helpful and professional 5 Star rating for them. Please note Elvirna has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I feel should be rewarded with a bonus for all her hard work.

Went to go pick up my router from Afrihost HQ today and the level of service from the staff was excellent, no complaints from the service delivery on my FTTH either! Thank you Afrihost!

This is the only internet and mobile network provider that you should be with. Since taking out a fibre package with Afrihost 3 years ago I have only be wowed by them every step of the way. Their customer support is fantastic and entirely free. You can log a call back on their app for any issue where they call you within minutes. So no airtime or time spent holding on the line. Their sign process for all of their products is entirely digital and dead simple. Any changes you would want to make to you products like upgrades , downgrades, cancellations or new products is also a few clicks away on their website or app. I just signed up for their mobile offering AirMobile. I received my SIM card within a day of placing the order and I was up and running almost immediately. Great customer care is so hard to find these days but Afrihost has it absolutely waxed. Honestly, DO NOT CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE. Just sign up with Afrihost and you will thank me later.

Fast, easily to use and very affordable actually, and the customer service, in my own experience, was really great. They were over-acommodating and very patient with me so - Big Ups to them👍

I would like to express my gratitude for the assistance provided by the WhatsApp agent, Thandolwetu. Their support was exceptionally helpful and exceeded my expectations. My router issue was resolved in less than 30 minutes. I sincerely appreciate the assistance received.

Not only are they friendly, but they are quick to reply to WhatsApp texts and emails, making sure you are assisted to your satisfaction. I love the fact that you do feel like you are communicating with a human being and not chatbot. Would 100% recommend.

After fibre network failure every device added to the router need a activation code. We needed to restart the system configuration from scratch. It was a lengthy process with patience from AfriHost. Very helpful service.

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.
