After almost two weeks of not being able to access my fibre line. I decided to use the "Request a callback" option. Your consultant Siyabonga was EXTREMLY HELPFUL and patient.

My reason for moving from my previous ISP was the poor technical service and Afrihost has already blown me away. Really happy with their Whatsapp support. Every single query was resolved without any hassles. So far, so good!

I have been with Afrihost for years and years and years. I became a customer after I saw how they supported rural schools with ICT training and infrastructure in 2010. They deliver a solid service. Their online customer portal is easy to navigate - Download your invoice? Easy-peasy! What shines is their customer service. I love being able to get support via WhatsApp chat. The first consultant I talk to can solve all my problems. You don't need to escalate or transfer to someone else. I have only ever needed to speak with my fibre provider once - when we set up the connection in my new house. Afrihost handles the rest. I promise you, you will not get better customer service. Ten stars for Afrihost!

I have been with Afrihost for over 4 years now and I have never had problems with them. Good service and the best by far in my opinion as a service provider.

Afrihost is my "go to" service provider cos their online portal is "user friendly" and so are their staff 😉. They are quick to sort out issues if you have any.

So far, great experience with Afrihost. Customer care has always been available in a timely manner, unlike some other ISPs. Using LTE and pleasantly surprised with overnight delivery, quick access to internet at 100mbps.

I have had really great service from Afrihost. (2019 - 2025) Started with fibre, then LTE, now LTE once again. The fault fixing service is the best I have ever dealt with. And the agents are pretty good. Above all things, you’re communicating with a person, not a bot. I would sincerely recommend Afrihost to my nearest and dearest because I choose them for myself. Please keep up the exceptional service. You truly stand above your competitors.

Afrihost is honestly the best especially with their chat function, I love how helpful, patient and polite the agents were and the fact that they stayed with me to help resolve the matter, I would recommend them to anyone, because they don't waste time instead they make sure that your issue is well resolved in time all the time.

Afrihost is an amazing web hosting company. I almost never have downtime on my website & of I do, it gets resolved very quickly. The help centre staff is also a pleasure to work with. They are very helpful. I highly recommend Afrihost's services.

I've used the domain from Afrihost, their packages are affordable, the support is timely. I have parked my domain with them because I would like to be able to use it, once i am ready again.

I beseech of you to please commend his customer service experience with the rest of your team and make an example of easily going the extra mile and showing product knowledge. I thank you for this and appreciate your service Mukhethwa. Forward this to your manager to do something about it for you.

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.
