I nearly didn’t go with Afrihost because I saw all the good reviews and thought it was fake reviews 😂 But I’m glad to say I’ve never experienced such good help from a company before. I can’t recommend them enough. Keep up the outstanding work Afrihost team 😁

Have tried many other internet providers, this provider is by far the most supportive with the most competitive speeds for price. The fibre is top notch 👌

Your whatsapp service ROCKS! Time and again, you guys help me to resolve hosting issues as a DIY techno-explorer. Thulanie made me feel like I really mattered today... with a few little niceties in the messages... and I felt as though I wasnt just another number on the system... thank you.

I'm very happy with Afrihost. I've been using Afrihost for hosting my website and creating my domain. I'm new to the whole process and I've dealt with 6 or more Afrihost staff. They were always willing to help and assist with all my questions. They were all very friendly and didn't mind simplifying the terminology to make things easier to understand.

The best fibre provider around. I moved over from Web Africa about 2 years ago because of their poor customer service. Afrihost truly outshines them with instant customer service! I've never had a problem.

Best internet service provider. Four years of excellent service at my previous resident and now seamless reapplication process. Afrihost are head and shoulders above any other fibre service provider.

Your customer support team is exceptional – friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to resolve any issues. Highly recommend for anyone seeking dependable fibre internet service!

Great from start to finish! Second account I am proudly opening with Afrihost! A friend messaged me while busy with the registration, asking me what I was doing... Told him "signing up with Afrihost"... He replied that I was making the biggest mistake ever, I should rather use *******. I told him to call back later as I want to complete my Afrihost registration without interruptions - and that I have been an Afrihost client for almost 10 years with NO issues! Call ended, he forwarded me a brochure of the company he was referring to... 5x times more expensive, I kid you not. Domain registered with Afrihost and ready to use in under an hour! Great service!

I love Afrihost and their staff. Always polite, proffesional and customer oriented from the reception to the technical side. I have never had any problems with Afrihost for the past 8 years of being the client here.

I have used Afrihost in two properties. They have a good and reliable connection. The customer service is understanding and very helpful. Communication through WhatsApp has made it possible to provide them with pictures of the issue, which lead to a quick and helpful solution.

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.
