Installation was on time, neatly done and connection activated with no troubles. Thank you Afrihost. Moving to a new installation address soon, let's hope the infrastructure provider is as switched on as Afrihost ISP services :-)

Karin's Treasures has had a positive experience with Afrihost. Their hosting has been reliable, and the support team has been helpful and responsive whenever we needed assistance. We value the service and the stability they provide for our business.

I was assisted by an agent named Buhle M, they are the best. I had been straggling to get my domains to work and all I could get was apologies and to be patient. But Buhle knew where to look and how to assist me. Thanks Buhle, your bosses owe you.

Afrihost is the one ISP that does not tie you to them with a long term contract. They even installed my fibre connection and gave me a wifi router free of charge and with absolutely no strings attached. They do however keep you tied to them by providing very good end-user support. There staff members are all knowledgeable, friendly and efficient in the manner in which they provide support.

For the past years I've been with Afrihost, I am highly pleased with their service, when there is an outage of some sort they would let their clients know.

Afrihost is a very reliable business their customer service support is top tier. I chatted with one of their agents over WhatsApp regarding my fibre line interruption. The very next morning a team was sent and resolved my issue. It turns out the guys that mow our lawn had cut through the fibre wire that runs through the box on the outside.

Very helpful and efficient agents. Sorted my connectivity issues with ease. My only comment is that some business run 24 hours and may need internet connection to trade. After 11pm there no way to get hold of Afrihost to sort out any problems

This was my fist interaction with Afrihost and normally I am very sceptic on how services can be through electronic communication, but I was very impressed with how this was done. My contact person, Gershom was very helpful. He answered all my questions in a supper fast and effective way and on top of that was also very friendly. Thank you for making my first contact with you a pleasures to do business with. This is the beginning of a long relationship and I am glad we started off so good. Keep it up and well done.

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.
