Iv been with Afrihost for almost 6 years now. I had an issue ONCE and that was me being an idiot. Thankfully, the Afrihost team were there to help, single call me request with a phone call back in 3 minutes. 2 minutes on the Line with an amazing Service rep, and boom, problem solved. AMAZING TEAM, AMAZING SERVICE.

I've been with Afrihost since we started our company in the early 2000's. I've never felt frustrated or not looked after and the online 'clientzone' is amazing for managing hosting, emails etc.

We've had to deal with many internet providers and Afrihost is by far the best and user friendly. Thank you Afrihost, will recommend to anyone.

I've had various products with Afrihost for more than 10 years and it has always been a positive experience. They are easy to deal with and one of the most affordable providers available (especially if you consider the upgrades they have provided over the years, often at reduced or no additional cost).

It appears they've turned their service back around to how it was when they started. Helpful, responsive and back to the good ol' Afrihost excellence. I'm happy to put 5 stars here now.

At first I didn't know where to proceed after I got my account (clientzoned) activated but then I contacted the online help desk with whatsapp and it was quick and easy.

Greatest experience to be with you guys, your WhatsApp service chat is the best and most convenient especially the availability of your team within a second.

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

Linda D – Absolute Star at Afrihost ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was frustrated after being kept on hold for a while and, shame, I gave Linda D a bit of attitude out of pure irritation. But wow — she didn’t take it personally. She stayed calm, patient, and helped me with everything I needed. Even when I asked her to transfer the chat, she stuck with me and resolved my issue like a pro. That’s next-level service. Afrihost, you’ve got a real gem on your hands. Big respect!

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.
