Service is good value. Works well and so nice to have other methods to contact company (like Whatsapp) and not have to deal with a call centre

Afrihost's support and online self manage system works so well that I will not even consider using a different web host or fibre service provider. Service always trumps prices although their prices are still very good.

This was my fist interaction with Afrihost and normally I am very sceptic on how services can be through electronic communication, but I was very impressed with how this was done. My contact person, Gershom was very helpful. He answered all my questions in a supper fast and effective way and on top of that was also very friendly. Thank you for making my first contact with you a pleasures to do business with. This is the beginning of a long relationship and I am glad we started off so good. Keep it up and well done.

AfriHost What’s App technical support is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised at how professional, friendly and helpful their support engineer, Jehan, was. My query was resolved at the first attempt. Thank You Afrihost.

I have visited the Afrihost customer centre numerous times and the service is always exceptional. Their phone and Whatsapp service is also flawless.

Used their Whatsapp help service today and was suitably impressed! Professional service with a quick turn-around time. Was refreshing to chat to a real live person and not a chatbot ;-). Well done Afrihost - and well done Thulani for being my hero and sorting out my webpage problem.

Very solution focused and patient with me as a customer. I was assisted through their patience and willingness to help me, I was thinking of giving up on my problem because I am technologically challenged; but their patience and willingness to help was the best!!

Been with Afrihost since 2010. Never had any issues with the service from this top class team! I can recommend Afrihost to anyone that want to get their internet sorted out in no time at all. Their client zone platform is simple, well laid out and easy to use. Prices are super affordable for what I required and they deliver on their promises. Period.

You haven't experienced great customer service until you spoke with an Afrihost agent. It's always such a breeze setting up wifi/ re locating wifi. Great company, great staff. 10/10

excellent company to do business with. Staff are extremely helpful and the online support makes life easy. I wish switching my debit order with the banks was as easy.

A truly one stop positive experience from ease of usability on the website down to the fast and efficient whatsapp interaction with their service agent. An uplifting experience in these times of shoddy customer service experiences. Well done Afrihost for the positive and uplifting experience!

Afrihost is great if you are persistent with them else they don’t follow up with a new client to ensure that the customer is sorted. However their WhatsApp communication line is outstanding and your problems are immediately tackled there.

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.
