Afrihost is a great and very efficient service provider. Whenever there is a problem they provide quick and friendly feedback, and the resolution is usually very quick if they can resolve it.

I had an amazing interaction with their customer service department today. If their service as ISP is as good, I am happy that I am changing my ISP to Afrihost.

Afrihost has outstanding customer service 👏 . Afrihost my preferred service provider as direct interaction with other mobile operators well below par...

So far so good. Ordered my fibre on Tuesday. All was up and running on Friday. Their service is a refreshing uplifting hope for customer service in South Africa. They make use of latest technologies and processes. Only criticism would be to have a status update on each step, to remind one what is next and what is to be done, but their response time on enquiring is fast and on the ball. Lets hope the service standard are maintained in my new relationship with Afrihost and Octotel. Bye bye Telkom it has been awful. Hello super fast internet.

So far happy with the service. Placed the ordered yesterday around 11am and they were here this morning at 9.30 to install the Fibre line. Just waiting for the delivery of the router. My rating is subject to change depending now on the delivery and the connection.

Thank you Afrihost's Bonginkosi for the amazing client services. I did not experience this in a very long time from other services. I would recommend Bonginkosi and Afrihost anytime.

Afrihost is the one ISP that does not tie you to them with a long term contract. They even installed my fibre connection and gave me a wifi router free of charge and with absolutely no strings attached. They do however keep you tied to them by providing very good end-user support. There staff members are all knowledgeable, friendly and efficient in the manner in which they provide support.

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.
