The WhatsApp assist feature for Afrihost is a great tool. I was able to be directed to an agent Arthur T within 5 minutes of logging my call. Arthur T then assisted me by asking the relevant questions to quickly understand my query. Upon investigation he was able to assist in getting my query escalated. Definitely loving the WhatsApp helpline especially because it’s available even on weekends.

Using them as my ISP for a long time now and have had zero issues with both AfriHost as my ISP and VumaTel as my line management team. Queries are easy to get assistance with via WhatsApp and all the consultants seem to be helpful, understanding and skilled to resolve them. I will highly recommend them.

They always help with problems and network errors. This is one place where you don't have to wait for hours to get a consultant or technician to help fix your problem.

I’ve been a client of Afrihost’s for years and have had only good and excellent service from them. They are fast, friendly, professional and their systems are easy to use. They are communicate and it feels like I’m dealing with people and not a company. I have not had such consistent quality experience from any other service provider. And from the last research I did, they have competitive prices. I highly recommend them.

Was the most incredible experience. What normally took weeks for other such service providers took a few minutes. It was like a Live Call on STEROIDSSSSSSSSSSS

Literally went from no fiber installed to having a connected line in a day. Shipping was mindblowing delivering less 18 hours after order was placed. Connection reliabile. Customers support was amazing, their customer support was incredible compared to other companies.

Afrihost is one of my favorite companies to deal with.... Great prices. Fantastic fast customer service. Whether via whatsapp or on the phone you never have to wait too long while holding for an operator. I am yet to encounter an unfriendly or unhelpful customer support agent.... Best company with competent and friendly employees

Way better than vuma or webafrica with regards to client feedback and transparency! Webafrica or vuma still owes me money which they refuse to refund. No way of contacting them with our being routed to different departments and still getting no answers

Would like to commend Harold from the Technical Department for the most amazing service. I had an problem with connectivity that initially did not seem like it could be resolved. Harold went the extra mile to solve the issue - nothing was too much trouble. He continued to pursue the issue over a number of days and kept me informed all along the way. In summary - what wonderful service - thank you so much.

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.
