Afrihost's Support is the BEST probally in the worls, all their Agents are both Professional & Helpfull, Afrihost just needs to match the prices offered by Webafrica Whose Customer support is disapointing and they would have everyone come to Afrihost. I regret moving to webafrica because i dint know how bad their support is till it was too late, but because of the price difference i had to stay for now, im eagerly watching Afrihost's prices, as soon as they match what im geting at webafrica, i ill definately move.

Man, the staff are just overall great people. I know everybody has their bad days but I wouldn't wanna make it hard for someone to assist me. I think respect us a 2 way street, if they respect me, I'll return the kind gesture. Thanks Afrihost.🙏🏼

The place is very nice and delightful. When you get there the upfront personnel will check you in, and ask you to wait until your number is called. In the waiting room the staff actually offers water and coffee. I have been there 5 times and the waiting period is no more than 10 minutes. The staff at the counter are very sympathetic, friendly, and fast. The decoration is great too and the way Afrihost separated the counters from each other truly makes you feel that you are been attended at a small office. Also I have been using Afrihost for about 4 months now and I completely love it, my boss also has it in her house and she also likes it and never complained about it.

Five star service received from Afrihost Call center Operater : Katlego. Matter was escalated and Katlego cleary explained the way forward for the Network to be re-connected again.

Been my isp in the adsl times, and I only left because a rival was the only one supplying fibre at my house. Moving back to afrihost now as fibre is now available through them as well. I am paying a little bit more for their service as well, so should tell you everything about what I think of them. Great company.

Exceptional Service from Nonjabulo Thank you for your help in resolving a very technically challenging issue. I would like to acknowledge her immense input in getting the matter resolved. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of “troubleshooting at home” with me. Her attitude towards her work is on an entirely different level. Good going! I am sure is a valuable member of your customer service team.

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.
