The smoothest fibre installation I have ever experienced. We signed up, a technician installed the fibre and our wifi was done! When we had internet trouble on a Sunday and the Whatsapp help chat was amazingly helpful and they fixed my internet. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend Afrihost for you wifi needs!

I had an excellent experience working with Prince M from the customer support team. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and he went above and beyond to help me with my issue. He was friendly, professional, and always available to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent customer service.

The BEST ISP! I've been using Afrihost for a few years, and I've always had the best service from them. My internet has always been reliable. As with most things, it does go wrong once in a blue moon, but the friendly people at Afrihost are always eager to assist and help you sort out the issue in a timely manner.

I queried a bill for a domain that I had recently cancelled. Using the WhatsApp channel my issue was sorted in minutes. As long as I don’t get billed again for the canceled domain, I’m very happy with the efficient service. Well done!

I was freaking out as I was late with my subscription payment and finally had an opportunity to execute it but couldn't log in obviously. Afrihost staff were super informative and helpful. Very patient. They didn't just treat me as an account that needed to be paid. Their human interaction was exemplary. 100% Satisfactory. I would recommend them with no hesitation. They sorted me out very efficiently. SassyCook, thanks for your patience! Beverley and Reratilwe were awesome.

Afrihost are the customer service that MTN can't offer. It's such a shame that they rely on the MTN infrastructire which often lets the down. From Domain creation to Support, Website builders, Mobile Data plans and Airtime management, Afrihost are amazing !

The WhatsApp assistance team is excellent! So much easier when one can send screenshots of the actual issue instead of explaining via a phone call.

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.
