Outstanding service from Afrihost, consistently. After struggling with my previous fibre provider, Waiting 6 weeks for them to relocate my services to a new address, I decided to cancel and try Afrihost. I had fibre in my home 48 hours later and I’ve been happy ever since. Keep it that way team Afrihost.

Afrihost is a top-notch internet provider that offers fantastic service and unbeatable deals at affordable prices. In my year of being a customer, I never experienced any issues with my connection until today. However, within just 5 minutes of reaching out for assistance via WhatsApp, my problem was promptly resolved by a helpful assistant. The service I received was truly exceptional - the representative was courteous, efficient, and provided clear guidance. I am extremely grateful for the quick and effective resolution. Thank you, Afrihost!

Afrihost has been the best ISP I've been with. I've been their client for around 6 years and I've been happy all that time. Great service and prompt response

The process, from start to finish, was quick—less than a week—and incredibly efficient, painless, and communicative. I highly recommend it, and I’ve also been recommended by many others

I have been with Afrihost for years and years and years. I became a customer after I saw how they supported rural schools with ICT training and infrastructure in 2010. They deliver a solid service. Their online customer portal is easy to navigate - Download your invoice? Easy-peasy! What shines is their customer service. I love being able to get support via WhatsApp chat. The first consultant I talk to can solve all my problems. You don't need to escalate or transfer to someone else. I have only ever needed to speak with my fibre provider once - when we set up the connection in my new house. Afrihost handles the rest. I promise you, you will not get better customer service. Ten stars for Afrihost!

Even though I'm leaving you for Google My-Business, I'm still happy with you guys, especially your guy Mike who was a star in customer services, and helped me right to the end of my problem. Art by BeaP is a happy customer.

I have been with Afrihost for years now and their products are quality and customer service is top notch. Not only do I use them for my cell phone provider but I also use them as my Internet provider There’s so many ways to get a hold of them such as what’sapp - call back feature or submit a ticket and they respond in a timely manner. If you are looking for quality service for your Internet or cell phone service such as data or airtime. Afrihost is the way to go Thank you.

Afrihost is the best. They have time and patience for the average users and know how to talk to people. I’m always amazed about how they handle us customers. Keep up the good work guys. Even the amount of time they take to resolve an issue; it’s just amazing. You can just tell that they know what they are doing.

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.
