I was very happy with the service I received via WhatsApp for a problem I was experiencing on my Afrihost line. It remains to be seen if it's a laptop issue or a line speed issue.

Fantastic experience with Afrihost, particularly with Ayanda who assisted me over Whatsapp. My query was quite challenging to resolve over the phone but Ayanda handled it with patience and professionalism. Looking forward to a pleasant client experience going forward.

Afrihost have exceeded my expectations in terms of the quality of their internet services / connectivity and above all, their customer relation, as you speak to real humans, not robots, and the customer care support are also professional based on how they address queries.

I've been with Afrihost for years, I moved away 5 years ago, as I had to take over the ISP from the owner when I bought our new house, but very quickly moved back to Afrihost. Friendly and Efficient service and accounts representatives. Highly recommend Afrihost.

I first used another company to assist with a domain and email. A week later and the email is still not working, they admitted the fault is on their side. Afrihost assisted me in less than 10min. Fantastic service! I highly recommend Afrihost

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.
