After having received mediocre service from the the folk at Yebo Gogo. It was refreshing to get excellent service without the frustration of call centres. From collection, installation and after sales queries, I received prompt and efficient resolution to all my queries. Great service all round 👏

Not using Afrihost services as yet, but definitely signing up as soon as my cancelation with the weather related provider kicks in. Their service with regards to all my queries was of a very professional nature. Definitely signing up! As should the rest of South Africa.

I've said 1000 times to everyone I know. Afrihost is the only reliable ISP that offers month - month upgrade and downgrade on a whim, pay pro rata. And yiu can do everything yourself in the client portal. It's so awesome. Moreover when you do need to talk to someone the staff are so knowledgeable and friendly, and genuinely try live up to the name "the home of pure internet joy". I have never had a bad experience with afrihost. And don't mistake the ISP for telkom. Afrihost still have to handle telkom so there are frustration but they do everything in their power to ensure your joy is preserved. I'm so so impressed and I've been a loyal customer and my whole family since 2014. Thank you afrihost.

Thulanie on the whatsapp customer care line is one of the most efficient and knowledgeable consultants I have dealt with, an absolute pleasure and sorted out and detected the problem in 5 min whereas others could not do the same in 24 hrs. Well done and thank you Thulanie.

Afrihost - Webhosting. Pricing and Quality of service is on point - second to none. Every single time I email support for assistance im constantly blown away at the speed of the reply and the tech knowledge - politeness and care. Last support ticket your engineers even took the initiative to deduce what I was trying to do never mind only fixing the error i created on the platform backend. They took initiative to give me the answer to what I was working on - and to advise that they are available to support me fixing it if I so wanted. WOOOOW!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK - YOUR SERVICE LEVEL IS WORLD CLASS (and this is coming from someone with +20Yrs IT Management experience in Europe)

Afrihost has been great from the start of Activating my service all the way through to setting up my router. Their staff is helpful and well trained to assist. Their feedback on open requests is impeccable. Moving over from Vodacom fibre to Afrihost has been the best move. Looking forward to having them as our ISP. Thank you Sihle, Eugene, Ompha and Buhle for your great service. Special thanks to Eugene for getting my line released by Vodacom and seeing the order through with all its difficulties.

(Translated by Google) I would recommend Afrihost anytime. Their service is great and feedback on an issue is quick. They just make everything easier. Good service is rare in South Africa. (Original) Ek sal enige tyd Afrihost aanbeveel. Hulle diens is puik en terugvoer oor 'n kwessie is vinnig. Hulle maak alles net makliker. Goeie diens is skaars in Suid Afrikaans.

Whenever there is a connection issue, it is resolved quickly, even when the fault is with one of the fibre providers. After a recent lightning storm, the router was struck. Afrihost client support did everything they could from their side to confirm where the issue could be. Diagnosis steps are easy to follow and suggestions are clear and worthwhile. Connectivity is restored quickly and is always up to the specified speeds. Problems will happen but the attitude that Afrihost has proves that they are the best.

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.
