Their whatsapp assistant is fast and reliable. One of their agent by the name of Vuyo M, he went beyond to what I was expecting and assisted me, he kept asking if I was still there and solved my problem on the go. We need more people like Vuyo.

After a week of dealing with arrogant Supersonic agents I called Afrihost. Wow wow wow wow I was so impressed with the service I received from start to finish. I dealt with 3 agents and they were all very helpful and friendly. They took the time to listen and then explained everything to me without getting irritated or impatient. The last agent I spoke to was Kamo and again best service - he went to extra mile to assist me. Wow I honestly cant believe that there is still a company with world class friendly amazing customer service WELL DONE AFRIHOST!!!

Every service provider has issues here and there. Afrihost has had the least issues for me so far. They are quick to assist when there is a issue. They have also given me the most stable connection so far.

Afrihost is by far the network service provider with the greatest customer experience. I've recommended all of my extended family members to change over to them and everyone were happy and never experienced any issues. Whatever issues that they may have occurred was instantly report to Afrihost and was taken cared of

It's a great service provider. Every time I have a query, I quickly send a what's app. They normally reply with an automated message saying they are extremely busy, but they have always reply within a minute after a send a message. And they always help you.... Excellent service. Keep it up.

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

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!

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.
