I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the exceptional service provided by Madolwana. He took full ownership of my queries, diligently worked towards a resolution, and ultimately resolved my issues. His dedication to providing excellent customer service is truly commendable, I really and truly appreciate it. I urge Afrihost to recognize Madolwana's commitment and professionalism. Absolute gold! Thank you, Madolwana; you deserve a full five-star rating!!!

I, frustrated with ISP's, switched to Afrihost in 2012. Never once looked back. Based on my pleasant experience with them, about 15 others followed over. Some had their expenditure lower 7 fold. I found Afrihost a no-nonsens group of friend, exercising impeccable admin.

All i can say is that if you looking for a network or sim card that is fast, reliable and always available whenever you need it, trust afrihost to give you that, furthermore i wanted to test my AfriHost sim coverage so i travelled from Johannesburg all the way to Mesina and their network and internet was still smooth and quick, what more would you ask for from a network?, nothing..Get yours before its late, Afrihost keep it up.

I cannot recommend Afrihost enough. I have been a client for going on 8 years now and I have received only excellent service from them. From the smallest query to the more technical ones, the support team is friendly and fast to respond. They are also exceptionally knowledgeable and always happy to help. Super grateful for Afrihost :)

You get help so fast. The WhatsApp Chats are very HELPFUL. Very cost effective. I don't have to call Afrihost. I just WhatsApp them and they respond in a minute. 🤗 Thank you, Afrihost Fibre for the effective responses and help.👏👏💅

Had great assistance from Sicelo G via WhatsApp to get to the bottom of my problem and after our chat the technicians have already called to set up a time to fix the problem

JHB Water hit the fibre cable in our complex. Within less than an hour of reporting it to Afrihost, they had contacted OpenServe and a technician was on site. Repair was made within three hours of the breakdown on a Friday! Excellent service from both Afrihost and OpenServe. JHB Water... take notes...

I can easily get my fibre for a few hundred Rands less than I am paying Afrihost. But they truly are worth the extra spend. I have never had any issues reporting a fault be it ISP or provider related. When there is a provider issue (9 times out of 10) Afrihost goes the extra mile and sorts that out too. I know of other ISPs who will tell you it's a provider issue and that's the end of their involvement. Afrihost goes the extra mile always

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
