I have been with Afrihost for years and years and years. I became a customer after I saw how they supported rural schools with ICT training and infrastructure in 2010. They deliver a solid service. Their online customer portal is easy to navigate - Download your invoice? Easy-peasy! What shines is their customer service. I love being able to get support via WhatsApp chat. The first consultant I talk to can solve all my problems. You don't need to escalate or transfer to someone else. I have only ever needed to speak with my fibre provider once - when we set up the connection in my new house. Afrihost handles the rest. I promise you, you will not get better customer service. Ten stars for Afrihost!

Afrihost has been my cost-effective Internet Service Provider of choice for a few years and the mobile wireless connection has always been fast and reliable; the accounts and invoices clear and prompt; and service responses to queries when required efficient. I am sorry to be having to leave them due to failure of the Network provider and no exact replica available through their offerings .

Been with them for over a year now and had no issues. When I first collected my router at the branch every single staff member including the security that I interacted with were so friendly. When I moved they relocated my package and arranged installation. It was quick and seamless. I have really had an outstanding experience with Afrihost! Thank you!

Definitely recommend Afrihost. So convenient with the WhatsApp chat option and to actually speak to a real person who understands the system on their side and can access your account and give direct feedback.

Had to get back to Afrihost since Frogfoot didn't receive a submission with all the necessary documents for my fibre migration application. Larry S was very quick to assist me with a resubmission from Afrihost's side.

Leonard understood the issue clearly and handled it efficiently. He took the intermittent fibre/LOS problem seriously even though the connection was stable at the time, logged the fault without unnecessary back-and-forth, and provided the ticket reference promptly. The interaction was polite, straightforward and helpful. Very good support experience.

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.
