Afrihost provides excellent service and when there are technical or network issues they help you resolve it on the phone or will send someone to come solve it quickly. I’ve been using them for several years in different areas and I’m very happy.

Afrihost, is easy to work with, low hassle And quite upfront about their services (other companies hide their clawback fees, Afrihost tells you straight). The Customer Service, especially on WhatsApp, is friendly, quick and very helpful. It’s just too bad that referral codes don’t work for fibre. Other than that, I wish I could give them six stars. Truly, the best ISP experience I have had.

Excellent staff. They are by far the best at what they do. I wouldn't have my fiber with anyone else. The app is so helpful. Any issues with the fiber is sorted out so fast. I would highly recommend

Awesome service as always, sad that I left you guys when the copper lines were stolen on my ADSL connection. I shouldve been with you guys from the inception of Fibre. Finally I've had enough with subpar customer service and im coming home. Afrihost is simply unrivaled

The WhatsApp chat with Afrihost was answered quickly and professionally. I will be moving everything over to them. I cannot even get a basic thing done with my current service provider.

While I was being assisted by a lady called Palesa via WhatsApp I got a phone call from a lady called Catherine who assisted me faster. I'm still grateful for Palesa for not allowing me to give up. Catherine came at the right time.

I have been with Afrihost for many years, and it's been amazing! Network problems are almost nonexistent. I've probably had one issue for about 5 minutes in the last three years. My only complaint is that they offer nice promotions/specials to potentially new customers, but kind of neglect their existing customers with promotions/specials.

What an amazing customer experience even during this time of impersonal client engagements. Well done Afrihost and more importantly, Kuli. Please stay safe.

Excellent fast and friendly service. They always understand the problem and are able to sort it out quickly. The whatsapp chat is very efficient. 👌🏽

The Whatsapp is a great improvement, takes the emotion out of it. Afrihost training must be good as their call centre staff is of the best. Through all my dealings with Afrihost, over the last few years, I have never had a concern and there team’s professionalism, skipping the chit chat getting the job is commendable.

It's 10/10 for Afrihost and help agent Vuyolwethu M. Took 90 min too switch line from previous ISP using the Afrihost WhatsApp help service. Satisfied customer!

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.
