This is the only ISP to provide quick answers and proper support. The only problem is the lack of fixed-IP's. Other than that the staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank for the support.

Always get timely assistance. Much better service than my previous service provider. I've been using afrihost for years for hosting and now will be switching over to theor fibre as well. Will always recommend. The WhatsApp chat function is also very easy and convenient to use.

What an amazing experience. I wanted to get Fibre for my mom in the retirement village where she's at. Quick response. I did everything online, it was easy and the customer service was impeccable! I would definitely recommend Afrihost if you need Fibre in Pretoria East region. Well done to Openserve and Afrihost!

...there are reasons why I chose Afrihost as my service provider over 8 years ago... firstly their advertising was 'catchy'... they responded swiftly when I needed them to...they provided the connectivity they promised continually...I briefly discontinued my relationship with them due to moving from Durban to Johannesburg... and the reconnection with them was absolutely hassle free...as was my move from ADSL to Fibre...I then disconnected again when I moved suburbs and experienced the same dedication that they have provided me with since the start of our relationship all those years ago...their whatsapp help line and their 'call me back' response times are mind blowing to say the least and they have an awesome 'Client Zone'. So I would like to thank EVERYONE at Afrihost for the seamless experiences I have had. This remains true to this day as I have just experienced…

Afrihost is the best, their fibre network is the best I have ever used and their agents are on point; always ready and willing to help. I also like the WhatsApp chat, very easy to use and convenient for me.

After Eskom kindly load shed our power, I couldn't connect to the internet. Afrihost assisted me step by step through the reconnection process and sorted out the connection issues, and this was all done over Whatsapp with screen shots. Great service, kind assistance and over all a fantastic experience. I recommend that everyone should use afrihost as their service provider. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been an Afrihost client for a few years now. I moved across because their pricing is excellent, and when I recently needed assistance porting another number I found the support to be outstanding (quick and involving contact with a real person😁, rather than the typically rubbish automated system). I can highly recommend Afrihost.

Great service. But the admin panel could be more user-friendly, with a better UX and UI and more helpful videos and instructions on what to do. But then the WhatsApp services were great, and they helped me with all I needed. So that balances out the old User interface. Thanks ;-)

I’ve been with Afrihost for over 15 years, both for my business and personal needs. Their services are easy to use, and their client support is exceptionally quick and helpful. I’ve never encountered any issues with them or their service. Whether it’s setting up new connections or resolving queries, Afrihost has consistently delivered. Their reliable infrastructure and excellent security make them a top choice for South African web hosting and ISP. I highly recommend Afrihost!

Afrihosts Support system has been excellent, their communication with clients is taken really seriously with high priority, something I appreciated from a supplier.

Ive tried numerous internet providers over the years. Afrihost wins by far. The fibre is great and all but its the support service/structure that sets afrihost apart from its competitors.

I've been a loyal and extremely happy client of Afrihost for the past 5-6 years. I had an issue with our router and wifi the past few weeks, since moving into our new house and I can conclude that Afrihost is client focused and their core business is focused on keeping the customers happy. Thank you Afrihost. Here's to another 5 years.

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.
