Been with Afrihost in multiple properties since 2019 and not used anyone else since. Will recommend them all day, everyday. Not saying there aren't some issues from time to time, but they are swift with fault finding, easy fault reporting through various avenues and prioritize keeping you connected.

Excellent support from Thulani over Whatsapp, solved my layman issues in no time. In general Afrihost support is always efficient and helpful.

I absolutely love Afrihost, by far the best internet provider I have ever dealt with. So easy to get in touch with them with a click of a message from WhatsApp. If you ever want a internet provider that can assist you when you need it most, contact Afrihost, they get the job done!

I strongly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for best service and quick response regarding internet connection. Thumbs up to Thabo M who assisted me perfectly.

Afrihost features exemplary customer service, especially when compared to 2 other major ISPs that I interacted with for most of last week. These 2 sub-standard ISPs feature frustratingly slow responses via Whatsapp, and were inept in solving for a FNO glitch (Vumatel) that had been hampering my fibre activation. Glad to report that Afrihost figured out the issue within minutes of contacting them, and yep I've now promptly signed up with them - which too has been a painless exercise. If you in the market for an ISP service, and unless you like subjecting yourself to pain, suggest you look at Afrihost first 😁

Top-class service! I'd highly recommend them if you're shopping around for an internet service provider. I've been with them for 4 years and won't go anywhere else.

Afrihost offers a great service, has awesome pricing promotions once every now and then. Afrihost has adequate communication in down time and sends out information when it's required. I have been with them for 10 years this year and I won't be moving any time soon.

Best service I have ever received in my life, in the span of five minutes I had been helped, served a coffee and received my router for collection.

A big heads up to 'Tutu' for brilliant customer care! He persevered with my problem for almost two hours and helped me through, step by step! What an amazing Representative for Afrihost. Well done and thank you Tutu! Lynne Hampson

Afrihost is not only good at their technology, but the assistance you get and knowledge you gain through their service agents top-notch! I would not only recommend them, but HIGHLY recommend them.

We have been with Afrrihost since the start of ADSL. Afrihost is the most cost effective of all the ISPs. They have upgraded the speed of the line on a few occasions at no extra cost. They evev upgraded our fibre from capped to uncapped at no extra cost. They relocated our fibre in a very short time. Support staff usually answer queries very quickly and are friendly and helpful. The owner of Afrihost Giaan, often contacts us personally about free upgrades and promotions. Afrihost is a very personalised ISP. Comparing our fibre speed it is cheaper than other ISPs.

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.
