What stands out most is the quality of customer support. The support team is always friendly, professional, and quick to assist whenever I have a question or need assistance. Their responsiveness and willingness to help make a significant difference.

Afrihost service is really tops. Love how they're available on WhatsApp and are quick to respond and helpful. They have never given me any good reason to consider any other provider and they just keep up the good work. Awesome.

Leonard does not make you feel stupid and helps quickly and makes sure you are happy with what has been done, does not rush a person to get finished. Thank you so much!!

So while this is a five star rating it is not for Afrihost, their incompetence and lack of support is astonishing. Truly I’ve never been more disappointed in with customer service ever, however if you are having problems, just ask for Buitomelo when you give them a call. She resolved my issue in minutes whereas collectively it took everyone before that 5 days to address my issue. Buitomelo seems to be the only competent and informed customer service assistant in that entire place.

Been with them since 2018. Never had a problem once. Best customer service and response time is amazing. Doubt I'll ever go to another provider.

The AfriHost agent who assisted me was gentle and patient with me. She responded timeously to get my issue dealt with. I’m a very happy client right now.

After calling the Afrihost’s landline to discover that they were closed and I needed to sort out my lack of internet access, I attempted the WhatsApp chat support. I only had a minor problem which was identified through initial picture being sent to my technician and then a video which quickly pointed to the problem and potential solution. For this minor issue the WhatsApp support was brilliant and although as my WiFi was down I was still able to communicate with the technician via my phone data. Keep it up Afrihost!

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
