I recently started Infinite Edge Marketing and decided to become an Afrihost client. They offer a wide variety of products, affordable and functional. Excellent customer service, product range, service delivery and much more. Would recommend them to anyone.

I find Afrihost the perfect hosting solution for all my business and client business needs. Their interface and portal are very user-friendly and am able to find any of their helpful staff members on the other side of WhatsApp if I run into quandaries or need some guidance. 10/10. You won't be disappointed.

Great backup and sales services. Great speeds. Easy to navigate website. (Use Ctrl + scroll to navigate application form.) I'm on LTE and I'm getting on average 50mbps but it does go to 90mbps sometimes. I'm in JHB south where there is no ADSL or fiber available. Hope you install it first. I do recommend Afrihost.

I've been with Afrihost since the 2020 pandemic when I started working from home full time. At the of the switch I was with another local service provider and was having consistent problems with the network. Signing on was quick and I was up and running before I needed to start my work day. They are also always an email or whatsapp message away if I need assistance or have questions about products. Definitely a company that thing of their customers as much more than just cash value.

Marilize keep up the good work, you really know what customer service is! South Africans service provides have lost a touch and understanding of what Customer Service is, except for Marilize from Afrihost! Big up! I'm impressed and I appreciate it!

I’ve moved homes several times, and getting fibre up and running has always been a headache. It usually took more than a week, and I never once had it working on the same day I moved in. This time, with Afrihost and Openserve, the experience was completely different. Afrihost kept me in constant communication with regular updates, so I always knew what was happening. On the actual moving day, there was even a missing cable — and they had a technical agent on-site within 2 hours to fix it! I was honestly blown away. Everything was running smoothly the same day I moved in. Their service, reliability, and responsiveness truly set them apart. Afrihost is hands down the best ISP in South Africa.

I have no issues with afrihost for over 2 years now. The WhatsApp line is brilliant because I don't have to wait an hour on a call for an agent. Quick and efficient service.

We have been with Afrihost for over 7 years. It’s safe to say that we are family now. We love the support centre on WhatsApp and the overall experience with WiFi and data usage. I would recommend Afrihost to many.

I had an awesome experience with Afrihost. They are by far the best web & email hosting service in the country. Their staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Their contact points are effective and innovative. Thank you Afrihost.

Ordered Pure Fibre 20 on 3 Dec. Openserve called on the 4th to schedule install and installed today 7 Dec. Just activated the my Fibre on my old B315 LTE router and it works! (while I wait for the new router I ordered to arrive). Love the WhatsApp support line, very quick responses. Love the ClientZone website. That was quick and painless!

I've been a customer of Afrihost for almost three years and they always give good service. Friendly staff and a very stable fiber connection. I barely have issues. I did buy a UPS two weeks ago and it was faulty I had to return it. They tried to fix it but it wouldn't work and they gladly gave me a brand new UPS.

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.
