Like everything in life, sometimes there are problems, but they mange to sort it out quickly though. I have been using Afrihost from back in the 2000's when they had less than 5 employees. I'm proud to say I use Afrihost for so long. They are a next level company with an out of the box thinking perspective. Sign up with them, they rock...

My debit order didn't go off, I contacted afrihost via whatsapp and was assisted within minutes. I was assisted by Schalk, he definitely knows what he is doing

Prompt service when I complained about slow response. Agent assisted with step-by-step guidance to pinpoint the problem, which was with the router. The agent has also linked their email address to the work ticket to be able to keep an eye on progress, as they have understood the important of us getting a new router asap. Very impressed with the quality of service.

I love Afrihost. We’ve been using it as a family for more than six years. We use their fibre, hosting services and even their cellphone network. They’re a great one stop shop and support is quick and easy. Most reliable we’ve had over the years.

Always loved Afrihosts professionalism and quick response. Ive used them personally and for clients of mine for the past 4+ years, never had a complaint. Their customer service is of a specially high regard and you feel as if they really care about the end-user. Great stuff

Afrihost so far has provided the most efficient service and instant responses from any ISP I have dealt with. Compared to Mweb where service levels are on a minus scale, dealing with Afrihost is a pleasant experience.

Every time I have had an issue with my domain I have gone to the support whatsapp line and within moments I have received (human) help (not AI) and been able to get through the issue successfully. This immediate support is a game changer for me.

Overall, a great support experience. While there was a slight wait to get connected, once I was through, the support was outstanding, helpful, efficient, and truly appreciated.

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.
