Every time I have had an issue with my domain I have gone to the support whatsapp line and within moments I have received (human) help (not AI) and been able to get through the issue successfully. This immediate support is a game changer for me.

I have been a client for many years and do everything internet related via Afrihost. My internet connection, hosting, voip etc. and the service I receive is really great. After sales service is in most cases a big problem with many companies, but certainly not at Afrihost. And there are many ways to help and be helped. Using whatsapp it takes one or two minutes and you are speaking to a professional. I am really happy.

Afrihost is one of my favorite companies to deal with.... Great prices. Fantastic fast customer service. Whether via whatsapp or on the phone you never have to wait too long while holding for an operator. I am yet to encounter an unfriendly or unhelpful customer support agent.... Best company with competent and friendly employees

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.

As a former customer care manager , I am not easily impressed by friendliness , I look out for knowledge. I have been impressed by how knowledgeable Ricky from the chat was .

Love Afrihost, their service is unmatched. I accidentally migrated my fibre to the incorrect service provider and without any issues they assisted and corrected my mistake. I can see why they were voted best ISP service provider.

Afrihost has never failed me thus far, I have been with other ISP that may have provided cheaper rates but the support and service was equally as cheap. I don't mind paying for the quality I receive with this team. I believe that the future of ISP is Afrihost without doubt.

I had an issue with hosted mail on a Sunday afternoon and the helpdesk agent was very friendly, understood my issue and was able to resolve it immediately.

My afrihost line was down once maybe twice in the 8 years I've used them. Even then, i got updated and the issue was fixed quickly. Customer service is also very good

Using the WhatsApp help line was the most effective way of their customer service. Within minutes i had all the information i wanted. Very happy with Afrihost overall as a provider too. They have wonderful response time.

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.
