Had an issue with our WiFi going down but was quickly able to WhatsApp with Afrihost assist they were friendly helpful and patient. And although we have to log a service request I was assured that they would monitor and follow up. Just being kept in the loop knowing it will get sorted out and they are following through is a great advance on me having to battle to get through to call centers and have to keep repeating my story. Very happy to have Afrihost oversight.

Always professional no matter how frustrated or upset I am. Always finds the answer if they don't have it or take up the issue and resolve it for you. Customer service is always great and by actual human beings not something automated.

You haven't experienced great customer service until you spoke with an Afrihost agent. It's always such a breeze setting up wifi/ re locating wifi. Great company, great staff. 10/10

How my experience started he was amazing sorted out all my issues after my previous service provider well NOT anymore as they were liquidated and left me with no internet, which is crucial when working from home, so thank you Thandolwethu L for your assistance, now let's hope openserve can be as efficient

They aren't the nimble startup they use to be, but i've been a client for 10 years and I can honestly say they have the most consistent good service of all the ISPs, they have competitive prices but most importantly focus on good service delivery which is refreshing to find. Thanks Afrihost

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
