I Love how quick and fast they are with their reactivations or reconnections, as long as your router hasn't been damaged or there's no LOS light flashing red as soon as you make your payment they get you reconnected immediately. Their WhatsApp customer service is very nice they respond to you fast and they transfer you to an agent within 3 minutes.

Had a great experience with Kgothatso, her prompt response and her sense of humor was amazing. She basically assisted me with my problem on WhatsApp and made me laugh 😃. Because of her customer service I would strongly recommend Afrihost to anyone.

Afrihost..... is there any better ISP? I just finished a living gell with Webafrica. Afrihost has been hosting my website domain for many years..... spoke to an agent today to sign up and here is the thing.... Afrihost is also on whatsapp like Webafrica - the difference..... you don't have to grab a "cuppa" and wait for Afrihost. Their response, even after-hours and on weekends is practically immediate!! I will promote and refer Afrihost to everyone They might not be the cheapest, but the service delivery and support a client receives is absolutely amazing!! Well done to the Afriihost Team!!

Afrihost Client services is exceptional and so far the staff members I have interacted with from the beginning of my subscription (Nkosinathi, Samantha, Rhudzani, Lerato, Michaela etc), have given first class services. Had a bit of a glitch with my subscription cancellation error, and they fix3d my issue with deligence. Their roaming capacity is fast and they have packages to suit any budget for the masses.

An extremely pleasant experience. I had a Wi-Fi solution in my new home in lightning speed. All the work from home stressors were sorted! (It does help to collect the device, which makes the process so much quicker). The customer service was superb and very helpful.

The best by far. I've been with 2 other ISPs before and I have never been treated with so much respect, care, and urgency. Prices beat most but customer care and customer satisfaction sure is their motto. They have truly brought pure joy to my family. Keep up the great job guys, the support team is just amazing.

Struggling with Mweb's poor service for years, Ayanda's excellent service proved that I made the right choice to migrate to Afrihost. Just don't stop giving good service. So glad you have a whatsapp help channel.

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.
