The rating I am putting here is for Customer Service Rep "Mhlonipheni" What a gentleman and I am truly amazed at how patient he was with me throughout the process. We will come back with the rating of the actual services of AfriHost in about a weeks time.. So far, so good honestly.. 😁

Hassle free service and you don’t have to deal with service providers who never take your calls. Afrihost has made surfing the internet so much easier. We are spoilt

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

Like I wish Afrihost the best and want them to prosper. They are friendly and are genuinely concerned individuals and I say individuals not business because they don't treat you like they are behind closed walls and sky scrapers. They are humble and very professional.

I love the WhatsApp option of dealing with issues. In most cases the responses come quickly and we are kept informed of how long things will take to get resolved etc. The call centre people seem very knowledgeable and are able to assist with queries very quickly. Very happy so far.

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.
