Afrihost has never failed me thus far, I have been with other ISP that may have provided cheaper rates but the support and service was equally as cheap. I don't mind paying for the quality I receive with this team. I believe that the future of ISP is Afrihost without doubt.

My experience with afrihost has been very pleasant, agent Nqobile N displayed excellent customer service, when an enquiry had arisen and I needed assistance, this agent was very knowledgeable and understood what I needed and was very patient, I am very proud to be a client of afrihost if this is the service I am to receive from every agent. Like I said previously give this one a bells, if not a raise.

11 years of being an Afrihost customer, it is a pure joy. I have used them from nearly 10 website hosting (dedicated and shared for year), 2 Fibre and 1 VOIP. I have been impressed by their love and dedication to excellence. People talk cloud, Afrihost has been our cloud for years and making it easy for people like me to understand. I would recommend them to anyone out there. Their service is absolutely delightful.

I would like to express my appreciation for Bryce's assistance. He was very helpful, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future should I require further assistance.

Afrihost is extremely helpful - even when the issue I had was not with them, they were able to point me in the right direction and assist me - I love their support through WhatsApp. Thank you!

Afrihost WhatsApp service was previously extremely slow and not worth the wait, but they seem to have upped their game, and Richard gave me some excellent service. Overall, Afrihost is the best.

The support is so much better than the awful "service" offered by their competitor that starts with Voda and ends with com. Let's see how the bandwidth is when I move!

I love Afrihost. Their service is one of the rarest. All consultants are very friendly and kind, they're very responsive and forever ensures you understand they are working to resolve what your issues are by constantly checking in on the customer. I requested for an immediate call back service at 22:11 and the a lady called me immediately. I thought it was a hoax but everything they say about their reputation as a company and the level of service they offer, I'm glad to say that they're 110% correct. You can't go wrong, I am a living and breathing happy client ✨️ 🤗❤️

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!

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.
