Afrihost would do well to hire more representatives like Ethan C. I accidentally initiated a new chat after a somewhat frustrating conversation with another agent and well I am glad it happened as it turned a mediocre experience into a fantastic one. All because of the immensely positive attitude that he had. Made getting shafted by Openserve deciding to not repair our DSL service slightly more bearable. Well off I go to look for a stop gap until Openserve decides to move along with actually bringing fibre into our complex instead of calling it good enough to have brought them to the gate…

Their the best... Afrihost. Easy to use. And easy to Communicate with the team. I recommend Afrihost for doing any online payments. If there was a 10Star rating. I'd rate out of 10 instead of 5 😁 Thank you.

Afrihost was absolutely amazing with resolving the problem that we were having with our relocation request. Quick to help, patient and thorough with the information needed as well as the next step.

Any issue you have with connections. Just send WhatsApp and it will be sorted just like that by well trained technicians. For me Mkhanyisi did a great job!!

Don't call on but rather whatsapp them. Consultant named Andile is very efficient, he helped me quickly with my connection issues. Afrihost as a service provider is great

You may pay a little more for their services, but that "little extra" speaks volumes when you need support. I've been with them for years and I've yet to be let down by them, their services and/or their team.

Afrihost is by far the best ISP I have been with for years now. I especially love their awesome Support Team and the very easy and helpful "Afrihost ClientZone" site and mobile application where I can monitor everything to do with my connectivity and usage. Big ups to the Afrihost Team for their professionalism. You guys Rock!

A great service. Reliable with excellent uptime and assistance via WhatsApp for queries and technical support is good. Have a Fiber line with Afrihost for around 5 years now and they have gone from good to better especially since the support hours were increased to provide assistance a little after business hours.

Afrihost is amazing, even on a Sunday morning I can get my issue resolved through their what's app system. All done in about 2 minutes. Blown away.

Afrihost is the best service provider considering how people are complaining about internet service. I would highly recommend them. Your staff is always friendly on call or whatsapp. I'm really impressed. I'm so glad I chose you as my service provider!!! Stay healthy.

Afrihost customer service is fantastic and it has been a pleasure to start an account and deal with them and their superb deals. HOWEVER, one of the courier companies that they use is useless and has a terrible rating so I am not sure why they still use them. Really puts a damper on the great service from Afrihost. Hoping if anyone sees this they can be aware, and also, if someone at Afrihost is reading this perhaps its something to reconsider as I am imagine I am not the only person who has had issues with Courier-it.

Was very help full and sorted everything out on WhatsApp. Appreciate the patience because I am not young anymore but could follow all easy instructions. Thanks

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Afrihost today. I ordered a fibre package with Afrihost today and the fibre line was installed on the same day! I am now just waiting for my router to be delivered. I received constant feedback during the day via email and I am really impressed with how quickly everything went. Thank you!

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
