As a potential new client exploring options with Afrihost the information I got from the website was clear and the process to set up an account easy. I used Whatsapp to ask a question about the timing of the migration and I got a prompt and helpful response.

I'm a website developer and today I had some problems with the setting up a new website, I could not The account details that usually is sent to me through e-mail did not arrive when after 4 calls and talking to 4 different people still no results forthcoming I then talked to a lady named Nokuthula and this was a total disgrace as she did not know what were account details I was looking for When told that I was looking for User and password she simply ignored me. My frustration is now immense but by hook or crook I managed to get the necessary user and password the site was eventually up but it can not be seen on phones I was told but another person that they had to tweak something on the server, but I must write an email for them to do that I sent email and 2 hour later I still have no joy. Being a customer with AFRIHOST for the last 16 years this is no way to treat a customer. PURE JOY, NO SIR you are not. Shame on all of you for not being professional and caring.

I have used a few ISPs, even worked for one. In the many years I have been with them (broken service, but came right back after poor experiences with others) I have hardly ever had to make use of their Customer Services, their app does everything you need and I have hardly had downtime despite Vumatel. But if you HAVE to use whatsapp for Customer Service, Afrihost outshines their competitors with their prompt, efficient and friendly service. Defs recommend.

I woke up to a connection issue this morning and spoke to an Afrihost agent around 8am I went away and got back to my office at around 12 at which time I spoke with another agent. We reset the modem and they did their magic on that side and presto I’m online again. Thank you.

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.
