I have never experienced a problem with Afrihost. Their agents always provide excellent service and I have yet to come across an agent I would not give a 10 rating. Would highly recommend Afrihost. Thank you for making Fibre easy

I was very happy with the service I received via WhatsApp for a problem I was experiencing on my Afrihost line. It remains to be seen if it's a laptop issue or a line speed issue.

Hi, I am an Afrihost fibre user and rarely have connections problems unlike many neighbours in our complex. Also, getting in contact with a consultant improves my understanding and ability of some IT terms. Keep up with the good work Afrihost.

Just have a basic website and emails with Afrihost and I am no hosting expert, but the few times I have had issues, it was very easily solved over whatsapp.

I've been with Afrihost for almost 11 years and they have made it easy to do business with them, most of the functions you need can be done via the app or the website. Their recent Whatsapp support line also has made it easier to resolve any matters that arise.

I've been with Afrihost since back in the dialup modem days and later also ADSL. I had to switch however to another ISP when we got fibre as Afrihost didn't service our area at the time. However, my experience with them were never as good as with Afrihost and when Afrihost did eventually offer fibre services on our Vumatel infrastructure, I was eager to jump back - and have been happy ever since.

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.
