I have been with afrihost for many years, with many different packages and the service has been impeccable. Their agents are efficient and have sorted any queries I've had very effectively and with low fuss. Would 100% recommend!

The agent that helped me was professional, knowledgeable and efficient in answering what I wanted. Big up on Afrihost. A breath of fresh air to deal with an institution that still works.

New to Afrihost. And the service is quick easy without any fuss!! I come from another ISP and there is too much red tape. I hope that Afrihost will continue with this type of service I appreciate the good service.

Had an issue with fibre (woke up and there was no internet). Reached out on WhatsApp to the afrihost customer chat and I was helped within a few minutes. My fibre is now up and running. Thank you!

What a pleasure to sign up with Afrihost. Fast efficient and kind assistance. I appreciated the well trained staff and the fact that I did not HAVE to talk to Willie the Bot as my only form of communication from an ISP! Who would have thought that talking to a qualified call centre agent could be so nice! I now too have a line that has gone from 25mb to 200mb for just another R140 Rand! My advice: Don't suffer in silence and pay in silence . There are much better offers out there. Loyalty today seems mostly one sided.

I have had numerous telephone conversations with Afrihost when technical diificulties arise..... They are very fast and efficient, they resolve any issues to get you up and running in no time, very stable and reliable ISP. Definitely recommend them to anyone needing an ISP to handle their fiber needs. Great service and great aftersale service. 9/10 *********

Moved from Supersonic to Afrihost. Great service. Most competitive prices. Great customer service is just as important as great internet service. Supersonic has forgotten that. Afrihost understands that.

Have been with afrihost for many years. The only problems i had was caused by fibre companies like frogfoot. Their communication is also good

I enjoy interacting with the Whatsapp service of Afrihost, the more I have used it the more I find I understand of what I am trying to achieve with hosting, security. Although sometimes it may take a while for the assistant to be available, once they are attending to your enquiry, they are fully on board and very attentive to assist. It's a good experience.

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.
