I engaged with Thulanie on the whatsapp line earlier today on a new promotion. Quick response and extremely professional. The service at Afrihost has always been on point. Never delays and very prompt in dealing with any issues related to connectivity.

Received help from Onalenna, who made the process so easy for me and ensured my issue was resolved before ending the call. I’m very happy with this service and would definitely recommend Afrihost for this reason

My five-star rating is for the interaction regarding my order with Afrihost. I can't yet rate the actual internet and its reliability. I will do another rating once I have used the service for a month.

There's not enough typing space for my comment, thank you very very much. 10 out of 10 all the way is cutting way too thin. I would like to repeat my last visit to your offices as in 2017 to meet the gears in the machine.

I absolutely love them, I’ve always had good service from them, and I’ve been with them for 8+ years now and I’ve been happy from day 1.

I've used Afrihost at my mom's place for 4 years today and they have the best service. They are prompt in responding to WhatsApp. Their challenges are with the infrastructure provide, Vuma. Vuma is the worst things that happened to communities. No customer service at all

Thank you Afrihost. My experience with you this far is very good. No problems out of the ordinary, just normal hiccups along the road, what is normal. Coz we are living in a fallen world and can't expect everything must always be smoothly and perfect. You keep up with the amazing work and you will definitely get more happy and pleased clients.

Thank you Afrihost for assisting me after hours via your Whatsapp Chat line. As a Virtual Assistant we need to have people like yourself at our fingertips and it was really comforting to know that I could still be attended to even if it meant chatting to someone online. This is what i call Value Added service!!

Service always great, but today i have met the showstopper...was assisted by Ethan via the WhatsApp chat and he was the best in terms of efficient and helpful. Well done Ethan, you make it impossible for me to want to deal with anyone else besides you.

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.
