They had a nationwide issue that was resolved, but I still could not connect. Contacted them via WhatsApp and 5 minutes later the issue was resolved. Great service, no wasted time, just a quick resolution.

I've been a customer of Afrihost for almost three years and they always give good service. Friendly staff and a very stable fiber connection. I barely have issues. I did buy a UPS two weeks ago and it was faulty I had to return it. They tried to fix it but it wouldn't work and they gladly gave me a brand new UPS.

I love Afrihost. Even the ease of resolving any issues, is prompt, friendly service. Haven't thought about changing Service providers since we signed up with them.

I have on several occasions used Afrihost for fibre connectivity and they are quick and efficient and no holding on in callcentre queues, simply contact them on whatsapp or self service on their app CS Zone which is really easy to navigate.

always give fast and greate support and love the fact you can message them on whats app the longest i have waited is 10min but most of the time it has 0-4min. Yes it can be instant , and I you can tell that they have had real training and are not just reading from a script Like some MassiveWEB providers ;) . Thank you to Musa Khumalo from Afrihost for the awsome support and service .

I’ve been an Afrihost client for a few years now. I moved across because their pricing is excellent, and when I recently needed assistance porting another number I found the support to be outstanding (quick and involving contact with a real person😁, rather than the typically rubbish automated system). I can highly recommend Afrihost.

Professional and friendly service provided by Afrihost. I will definitely recommend my family and friends to use Afrihost as a professional service provider.

The network itself is very reliable, I haven't experienced any major problems. I love the WhatsApp channel, it's quick, easy and convenient 👍🏽

So I have been with Afrihost for almost a year, it was a rocky road to be honest in the beginning (bad customer care), but all things said and looking at the entire situation as a whole - I would say the positives do out way the negatives. My biggest gripe was having to work with Openserve in trying to successfully schedule a day for Fiber installation, spoiler, four bookings were made and confirmed by Openserve, that never went anywhere, they just would not show up, regardless of the four "technicians", times or dates, they are unreliable in every sense of the word, and I would highly suggest Afrihost drop their partnership with them asap.

Having Afrihost as my ISP is such a breath of fresh air. They support (especially via WhatsApp) is perfect and their response time is superb. I'm very happy with the level of support I receive from Afrihost.

Awesome experience. Better than what I expected the service to be. I highly recommend Afrihost to new clients. No wonder they are the best service provider in SA.

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.
