We have been clients of Afrihost for years, hosting our websites and recently started using them for our fibre hosting too. They make contacting them so convenient through whatsapp and always able to resolve the problem in a timeously manner. I also appreciate that if I am not sure what to do when it comes to my fibre that they are not condescending or patronizing. Really good service. Keep it up!

Super impressed with their service. Very efficient and friendly. I've never experienced such warmth every staff member (including cleaners) like I did. They are definitely not your typical service provider

Clientzone takes the hassle away of calling in and their whatsapp options answers any questions or issues quickly. Afrihost is a great service provider, very happy with our fibre at this time.

I would like to thank the support agent Veronica C for all her assistance yesterday. she went beyond the call of duty to ensure my fibre was reconnected after 6 days of downtime due to failure on vodacoms side. I called in at 4:55pm, Veronica finishes work at 5pm. I live 1km away from my residence, she waited for me to get home to finalize the configuration. whilst waiting for me to get home she called her husband to advise him that she is going to be late to fetch her baby from creche and made arrangements for him to do it. I felt really bad for this. however as soon as i got home, the config was done and up and running within a minutes. Veronica is definitely an asset to Afrihost and went beyond the call of duty to ensure excellent customer service. Well done Veronica.

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.
