Glen M was extremely professional, patient, and helpful throughout our WhatsApp interaction. He listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and provided clear and thorough responses. Glen's demeanor was friendly and reassuring, which made the process smooth and stress-free. I was very impressed by Glen's product knowledge and his ability to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. He took the time to ensure I had all the information I needed and did not rush me at any point. Overall, the service I received from Glen was exceptional. He is a credit to your company and I would highly recommend him to others. Please pass along my sincere thanks for his outstanding customer service.

I was satisfied with Afrihost. I think it's quicker to use the WhatsApp platform. I submitted my request for emigration 0n 12 Oct and on 15 Oct it was active. This is because there was no cabling required I was using my old connection and device. Also, I made follow-up via WhatsApp which enables prompt action on their side. I find it much easier TO CONTACT than my previous ISP. I highly recommend. Their service so far is good.

I have had the utmost friendly, efficient and totally professional interaction with Afrihost. They kept me in the loop every step of the way with regards to the installation of my fibre. They are quick to answer any queries you have, and not one of my queries has been answered incorrectly. I would highly recommend them.

I contacted Afrihost on WhatsApp and I was assisted by Neo M, I was bit confused about my order; he clarified everything, took me through all the steps. Afrihost doesn't only offer best services but hires passionate individuals. I'm happy with Afrihost 😎🤗.

We've been with Afrihost/ Vumatel since 2019 - Pleasant service, no hassles, reliable internet connection at all times, I don't recall being without Internet, even with loadshedding and our UPS, our line and experience has been nothing but perfect. We're happy to move to our new home and continue our Journey with Afrihost/ Vumatel there, they've become a huge part of our Family. 🙂

Afrihost really are one of the best ISP’s. I tried signing up to a competitor who claim to be the best but they could not even get my order placed correctly when I moved homes. The competitors only way of communication was via messaging and the agents never responded in time. Afrihost was very different, they went above and beyond to get me connected despite line transfer challenges. Keep it up 💪❤️

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.
