I am very satisfied with how Afrihost responded to my inquiry. Unfortunately I couldn't get the product I wanted because of poor infrastructure in my area. 👍👍Afrihost

I appreciate how quickly Afri Host replies to WhatsApp messages and resolves queries; keep up the good work, but please improve your website when submitting FICA paperwork; overall, I am a new satisfied client and would refer you to anyone. Can't wait for my SIM card.

I am in the process of Signing-up for Afrihost Fibre and have been a client for years as they host my domain as well as channel my data through them as I find this to be much cheaper than using the normal service provider data packages on my telephone. I have been dealing with other ISP's where the service was horendous. The assistance that I have receive from Afrihost is always quick and I mostly make use of the Whatsapp call centre service, this saves time and money. Not just a great product but also a great service

Afrihost offers great customer service! I made an WhatsApp Enquiry, and a friendly consultant immediately responded. He was patient and understood my question. He took me through detailed steps, offered advice even demonstrated using an image to ensure we were on the same page. Thank you Afrihost

I've used Afrihost at my mom's place for 4 years today and they have the best service. They are prompt in responding to WhatsApp. Their challenges are with the infrastructure provide, Vuma. Vuma is the worst things that happened to communities. No customer service at all

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Refentse for their outstanding assistance with my recent fibre installation query. From the moment I reached out, Refentse was professional, patient, and genuinely committed to resolving my concern. They took the time to listen, provided clear and accurate information, and followed through without delay. It’s rare to come across service that feels both efficient and human—but Refentse delivered exactly that. Their calm demeanor and willingness to help turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Thank you, Refentse, for your excellent support and for going the extra mile. Your help made a real difference

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.
