The service i recieved from Afrihost today was beyond excelent. Leonard, who was my agent, was very knowledgeable and managed to resolve an issue that i thought unresolvable at this time. Thank you for the great service and keep it up!

Afrihost have hosted our domain for years now. We are impressed with their service and the speed at which they resolve the odd issue that pops up occasionally.

What an experience! I decide to collect my router myself as I was too excited to wait for delivery. As soon as I entered the building, I felt this vibe of happiness and excitement. I couldn't help but notice the beautiful break/lunch area set out for the employees. The representative who assisted me (unfortunately his name was to long to remember) was extremely helpful, friendly and made me feel right at home. Thank you Afrihost for the great experience today and for looking after your employees so well!

Moved from Supersonic to Afrihost. Great service. Most competitive prices. Great customer service is just as important as great internet service. Supersonic has forgotten that. Afrihost understands that.

I was so pleased with the Themba that I requested to speak with her again. But the system picks the first avaiable operator. But the assistance is great.

As my job entails dealing with several clients with their business and home networks, I find Afrihost to truly be the best and most responsive ISP available. I recently assisted my daughter telephonically to reconfigure a router in another province with AfriHost support assisting simultaneously. We managed to resolve it within 10 minutes! I do have other existing services and clients using them and they have always proven themselves to be the number 1 ISP in the country.

Afrihost customer service is fantastic and it has been a pleasure to start an account and deal with them and their superb deals. HOWEVER, one of the courier companies that they use is useless and has a terrible rating so I am not sure why they still use them. Really puts a damper on the great service from Afrihost. Hoping if anyone sees this they can be aware, and also, if someone at Afrihost is reading this perhaps its something to reconsider as I am imagine I am not the only person who has had issues with Courier-it.

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.
