Great service - the WhatsApp Helpline is a great addition to getting help. It's convenient, techs know their stuff and don't take long to respond.

I was with Afrihost years ago with only the best service and quick response when a fault occurred. I moved to my current location and were with another ISP and not so happy. I decided to go back to Afrihost and while the problem is not fully resolved yet, the service on their WhatsApp line on Saturday was professional, helpful and friendly. I trust that my internet connection will be resolved soon.

I was satisfied with Afrihost. I think it's quicker to use the WhatsApp platform. I submitted my request for emigration 0n 12 Oct and on 15 Oct it was active. This is because there was no cabling required I was using my old connection and device. Also, I made follow-up via WhatsApp which enables prompt action on their side. I find it much easier TO CONTACT than my previous ISP. I highly recommend. Their service so far is good.

I have been with Afrihost since 2021, their customer service has been top notch and that’s why keeps me with them, they communicate if there are network issues and it’s highly unlikely that you struggle with network outages. Keep being the best service provider 🙏🏽

Had a less than ideal experience with someone from support because they immediately thought they were addressing my issue instead of listening. I then called back and was met with someone else who took the time to ask questions 1st to fully understand the issue before working on the solution and hence knocking it out of the park.

I joined THE BEAUTY HUB ACADEMY and so I had to make few adjustments on how thinks should run, even your ClientZone Loin is just user friendly, with Afrihost in a click of the button I've had a good experience even the last time i had a good experience

It was a pleasure to have been helped by Nonhle. It took a bit of time. But my problem was fixed with a bit of patience. It is good to be associated with Afrihost. They go out of their way to assist. Excellent service provider.

I've always had good service from Afrihost. Today I was assisted with fibre at my new address. All conducted via what's app chat. Instructions were concise and easy to follow.

The wifi connection is very strong compared to the other companies we've used. They're very good with solving any issues you may have and I definitely recommend Afrihost.

I’m an Afrihost customer for more than 8 years now, first with hosting, then LTe then ADSL & now fibre. Service is excellent as the WhatsApp help desk works perfectly. Their agents are well trained and ask the right questions (I’m in IT support). Minimal downtime, even with load shedding.

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.
