Signed up with Afrihost a few days ago. They kept me informed of every step from order confirmation to router configuration. Had a hiccup with tracking the delivery of my router (not Afrihost's fault), jumped on the WhatsApp chat and received accurate information immediately, and that on a Saturday afternoon after Black Friday. Thanks Sfiso! So far, so good.

I've never been to the physical location, but I was asked to rate their service. This star review is a measure of their online customer service, not the physical location.

Simply the best for a startup that cant afford to hire big developers. Afrihost has an easy to use interface, their customer service is great... there is no way you would leave without being assisted to some degree

Very happy with my experience with Afrihost! Ive been with them for 2 years now and I've never had an issue with my fibre! The times i have contacted them about hardware issues (my one router lived out its lifespan and i struggled with configuration with the new one) they were friendly and very knowledgeable! I recommend Afrihost to all my family and friends!

Sometimes, there are hiccups as in any human-designed and manufactured product or system, but in general I am very satisfied with Afrihost's service and complaint response time and resolution.

I somehow managed to lose my Wi-Fi connection on all my devices. I contacted Afrihost and spoke to Tutu. He was very helpful, and assisted me via the Afrihost WhatsApp chat. We setup my Wi-Fi name and new password, and I was up and running on all my devices in no time. Thanks Tutu, and Afrihost for the excellent service. This is rarely found nowadays! Well done

My query was assigned to Shingirai, it was very frustrating and took over an hour. Shingi was super patient and professional. I was amazed at the outstanding level of customer service I received on a Saturday late afternoon, when their offices are supposedly closed. THANK YOU SHINGIRAI and Afrihost that your excellent customer service does not keep business hours!

Professional, fast, and it works! A refreshing experience that should be taken as an exemple by all major communication/IT brands in South Africa.

I am greatly impressed by the service I received from your help desk and the agent Morris D who handled my query. Even though I am NOT a client of Afrihost currently, he still went above and beyond to assist me with the matter I contacted him about. Morris, you sir, are what customer service should be. Thank you.

✨I definitely refer AFRIHOST as NO. 1 SERVICE PROVIDER✨ in South Africa ... (should extend to Europe cos THEY'RE JUST BRILLIANT) I have all my accounts with Afrihost and have without a doubt, the best service an Internet Service Provider can offer. Their staff goes above and beyond in assisting with any technical issues you have. You have so many options of communication to choose from, WhatsApp, email, help section on website or call them. They are brilliant! Fast and accurate delivery of emails and service when required! Afrihost has provided a No1. service when I'm out of South Africa (International in Europe). I've always been treated with utmost quality of service and my businesses and personal accounts are treated the same...👌

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
