Much better after-sales support than Telkom, Vodacom, or Acorn Broadband. And so so easy to get help when you need it. I think others in the customer service industry could learn a few things from AfriHost

My experience with Afrihost has been great! There are always friendly professionals waiting to assist, from installation, to problems you may encounter. Not to mention they upgrade your line speed at no extra monthly cost... how fantastic!

For me, the key thing with ISPs is availability of support when the connectivity has issues. Afrihost’s support is on point. The fact that we can text on whatsapp makes things much easier, even better than they’re available even after hours (upto 19:30 during the week). The constant and timely updates for network issues helps ease frustrations when internet connection suddenly dies.

I’ve been with AirMobile for a while now and I’m beyond happy with the deal, the connection, and overall services. I even got the sim for my mother’s home router too. Amazing service.

Great customer service with exceptionally easy upgrade, relocation and migration processes. The app is also pleasant to use. I've never had a contract issue or serious functionality problem since getting fibre with Afrihost several years ago. They communicate when there are minor issues and they resolve them quickly. Also, the contract prices are very good.

I had a query about one of the domain names registered in my name. Logged a query on ClientZone. I had a response in short moment but unfortinately I got busy with other things ... and could only complete my query after 17:30. Then I called and was redirected to using WhatsApp.afrihost.com. I got helped by Mike and was sorted within minutes. Thanks Mike. Excellent service Afrihost.

Been with Adrihost for many many years and have had zero issues. Very well priced and efficient with thier packages. The airmobile service makes all the normal phone providers internet extremely expensive since you get so much more for so much less with afrihost.

I had a problem where my phone number had somehow got mixed up with another account. I therefore kept getting messages on my phone about someone else's account. I contacted Afrihost via WhatsApp and Jackson sorted out the problem in no time at all. Great service.

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.
