I've just moved from another isp to afrihost. So far so good. Hopefully, I don't have to change the rating in the future. Love the support as they make you feel like you are the number 1 priotory.

I have been with Afrihost for many years, and it's been amazing! Network problems are almost nonexistent. I've probably had one issue for about 5 minutes in the last three years. My only complaint is that they offer nice promotions/specials to potentially new customers, but kind of neglect their existing customers with promotions/specials.

Yvonne I am amazed 👏 by the patience and understanding you have. I canceled my account and wanted to confirm and after explaining my frustration the solution was given in an outstanding manner. On behalf of customers who still appreciate great customer service I would like to say KUDOS 👏 💐 🥳 TO Yvonne. You deserve all the greatest at Afrihost.

I have always been very impressed with Afrihost service. I have multiple domains hosted with them, both for websites and mail servers. So far over the past 12 years, I have had about a hand full of complaints from my clients regarding being down, and even then, about half the problems were not even related to Afrihost. Thank you for your awesome service with hosting.

Application to complete Installation in less than 24 hours. LOS issued resolved in less than 10 minutes. Great to know that if things go wrong, it will be sorted, Quickly. Some would argue that it shouldn't have been down in the first place but these things happen. 👌

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.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
