wish you can inform vumatel to make maintenance to their line and when they do so they must make us aware there will be such and also they must give us our wasted time back

Been with them for over a year now and had no issues. When I first collected my router at the branch every single staff member including the security that I interacted with were so friendly. When I moved they relocated my package and arranged installation. It was quick and seamless. I have really had an outstanding experience with Afrihost! Thank you!

The HELP menus and WhatsApp work well. The subscription is a bit messy as they try to up-sell things you don't need. That's disappointing and confusing.

Air Mobile Afrihost is a great company/organization that has good assistants...everything they advertise on social media is true. So lovely. I got my sim card within 2days...I guess it's because I'm staying close to them. Rivonia Eden Sandton

I have to say, out of every company I have dealt with, Afrihost has, by far, the best technical support. It is a PLEASURE to deal with them, they are always fast, knowledgeable and helpful and frankly no one else can hold a candle to them. I have been using Afrihost for years, for email and website hosting, and I don't see myself changing anytime soon. I definitely recommend them.

Is it possible that I change my debit date to the 25th of every month. My current debit order is in an awkward date and I sometimes do not have funds for it on that day

They are the absolute best ISP out there!! Ordered late after noon and early morning I received my router. Whatsapp support is the best, fast and straight forward customer service. Just amazing!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic help Jessica provided. Her professionalism, patience, and dedication truly stood out. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was resolved smoothly, and it made a world of difference. It’s rare to encounter such exceptional service, and she’ve set a high standard. Thank you for making the experience not only stress-free but genuinely pleasant. Afrihost is lucky to have someone as committed and capable as her!

And once again I received first class service from Afrihost. All our company websites are with Afrihost and they are our ISP as well. This morning a client contacted our office that he couldn't get onto a website as the AutoSSL certificate for the domain had expired this morning. I sent Afrihost a message on the app at 09H06 and received a message at 09H21 that my website was loading securely again. Thank you Afrihost team!

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.
