By far the most wholesale & responsive customer service experience I have ever had. More efficient than Ambulance & fire services combined. I'm super impressed. Keep it up!

I highly recommend Afrihost. I've had absolutely no issues with my fibre internet since joining Afrihost. Problems gets solved almost immediately and they have so many options to contact support. I am very happy with my fibre.

Our school website was down, but both technicians I communicated with at Afrihost were very helpful and the problem was resolved within the hour from start to finish. Five stars!

Based on the Whatsapp assistance for web hosting I think I will be moving my fiber line from my current ISP. Very helpful and great response time.

I have been using Afrihost for a number of years (Fibre via Frogfoot) and have now added Airmobile to the mix. Any issues / queries are resolved efficiently via a dedicated WhatsApp chat with a real person (lol) and not a bot. The only problem I have is that if there is an issue after hours, on weekends or public holidays then one can't get the problem resolved until normal working hours resume. Though I must say this has happened few and far between and is sometimes resolved before the need to contact them. I still rate them 5 stars though.

(Translated by Google) Few problems and when there are they help you very nicely to solve them especially Ryton. (Original) Min probleme en wanneer daar is help hulle jou baie mooi om dit op te los veral Ryton.

I called in and then was directed to use the chat platform. I was a bit apprehensive at first but then I found the agents to be very helpful. They did not just tell me to do a standard router reboot, she kept asking me to run a few tests and even though she got me to realise a higher speed, she went the extra mile and checked the settings on her end and got me the actual speed I was paying for. Well done Afrihost, great platform and good on you for getting competent staff on the frontline. I would recommend Afrihost to anyone.

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.
