I have been a customer for over 8 years now, and never has a problem not been solved with 30mins. Basically, you get in touch, they do their magic and most of the time your problem is solved within minutes. Industry leading customer service! By the way, the connection speed is as fast as the service. Pure internet joy!

Very happy with Afrihost, since 2018. Every few months they upgrade our fibre speed without charging more. Customer service is also top notch. Got a free router upgrade this week too. Keep it up.

I'm loving the network coverage already and the fact that their products takes a bit longer to expire. The technical support is even excellent. I recommend it to everyone.

✨I definitely refer AFRIHOST as NO. 1 SERVICE PROVIDER✨ in South Africa ... (should extend to Europe cos THEY'RE JUST BRILLIANT) I have all my accounts with Afrihost and have without a doubt, the best service an Internet Service Provider can offer. Their staff goes above and beyond in assisting with any technical issues you have. You have so many options of communication to choose from, WhatsApp, email, help section on website or call them. They are brilliant! Fast and accurate delivery of emails and service when required! Afrihost has provided a No1. service when I'm out of South Africa (International in Europe). I've always been treated with utmost quality of service and my businesses and personal accounts are treated the same...👌

Every time I have had a problem afrihost has helped. One time when I first got fibre and had to reset my router I got so fraustrated with my computer I told the chap from afrihost I will get someone else the next day to help me. The chap said to me my dear you will stay on the line with me and we will get it right together. We were on line from 4pm till just after 7pm when we got the router working and my computer connected. That is what I call dedication . Well done and thank you Afri host.

Great customer service experience I have received by Tumelo(technical dept) he went over and above to assist me even after his shift. That young man kept to his word when he said he needs to leave but will give me a call once he gets home and thats what he did,a man of his word. Well done young man for your excellent service you have provided me keep it up. My over all experience that I have received by other consultants that I was in contact with regarding my request was extremely helpful and I will definitely recommend Afrihost to family and friends for there willingness to assist and great customer service.

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.
