I was assisted by Prince on the Afrihost whatsaap help centre, firstly there was no waiting time, Prince immediately texted me and helped me with an issue that another ISP could not help me with, he did this within a couple of minutes, sent proof and assured me that my issue will be handled accordingly. I am grateful to Prince and the team at Afrihost for their excellent customer service and their willingness to help with my issue.

Fantastic service ethos. Love their WhatsApp chat service offering, which is very user friendly. Not a customer directly, but will recommend then on the experience I had with them.

Easily the best ISP out there. Quick and prompt responses, you can pick up the phone during working hours and get assistance immediately. App and website works efficiently and human to human interaction communication over what’s up makes it a 6 out of 5 rating 👌🏾

If you are dealing with Nomvuyiso N. at any point, you are in good hands and I am confident your issue or query will be resolved, mine was resolved before the end of the conversation. Very impressed and give this person a raise! Nobody asked this but as a client I think employees like this should be well looked after. (Nomvuyiso, I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries here but you were incredible! All the best). I am a very happy customer.

I have been with Afrihost since Gian first started it all those years ago. I have had nothing but great service from them (as we grew together!)

I really love Afrihost and how seamless they are with their support. I use to be with them but my current apartment doesn't have them as an ISP. I contacted them to assist my mom and they assisted so quickly. Unfortunately the matter isn't sorted due to loadshedding but I know if the problem was on their side they would've sorted it out already. Thank you Morris D for being so amazing!

Afrihost is a superb ISP. I highly recommend them to anyone. It is a pleasure to deal with them if you have a problem as they are helpful in problem solving and will escalate matters when required. You are not shunted from one department to another as is the norm in most businesses in SA today. Keep up the outstanding service Afrihost!

Everything was easy to do, even when I got stuck got assisted by Portia M on chat and was relieved after the step by step process of assistance. Can't wait to use the services as my sister's son card arrived and everything is there as shown.

I've been a long time client who's made use of Afrihost's ADSL, fiber, mobile data and hosting services without a single complaint of poor service over the years.

Amazing Afrihost with the whatsapp contact centre which allows you to always be in touch but not have to hold on for long. I can now log an issue during work time and not sit on the phone. Your operators are super helpful and efficient. It truly is a pleasure dealing with you guys. A special mention to Enoch in finance and Sakhile who helped me tirelessly to get up and running. You guys are leaders in customer service

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!

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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.
