Great service don't have to wait long real value for money after my experience with Vox. My previous experience was really frustrating going from pillow to post and not getting an answer sometimes for days. Working on WhatsApp it was more or less instantaneous. I was so impressed after using the portable cellular service that I've decided to switch my home fibre as well.

My experience with Afrihost has been great! There are always friendly professionals waiting to assist, from installation, to problems you may encounter. Not to mention they upgrade your line speed at no extra monthly cost... how fantastic!

Afrihost, is the best ISP hands down. I esperienc minimal downtime and experience uptime of about 99.99%. I never worry When they need to sort out a problem as I know it will be done quickly and without further issues.

Haven't had any issues. Client zone well laid out and easy to use. Whatsapp feature is efficient and support is quick and easy. Prices wise, not extremely competitive as it looks like all ISPs are round about priced the same at the end of the day.

I have used many networks for my wifi but after an engemennt with Afrihost. This is way to go, especially their customer services and agents very quick to answer and help with queries. I'm happy.

I have been with Afrihost for over 5 years. Amazing service! Takes less than 2 minutes to upgrade, downgrade, change debit orders details etc. The app is very user friendly and easy to use. The Whats app helpline is quick and issues are sorted out immediately. I haven’t found better voice and data pricing. Well done Afrihost!

I am struggling for 4 days with Supersonic with no luck!! I will never ever recommend them. I have contacted Afrihost and immediately got service and excellent service too. I will definitely recommend Afrihost to anybody, especially for working moms doing meetings and homeschooling in lockdown where you need internet

I jave always had great service from Afrihost, from when we first ordered our new Fibre line years ago, through to now when I require support on WhatsApp. Quick upgrades on our line, and great customer service. These have been my experiences, they have all been good and cannot fault Afrihost simce we joined some years ago.

The consultants on WhatsApp are prompt in their responses, resolve of the problem and turn around time. My consultant Sakhile was very efficient in assisting me, within 5min of me reaching out.

Wow!!! Again I was blown away with the speedy and excellent service. So my current (ex) ISP has taken 3 1/2 days to escalate my issue (no internet) and I decided to go back to Afrihost because I know their service is exceptional. Thank you guys!

Generally a good experience with Afrihost. They able to assist with all my queries. If they could just add a feature where data could be sent to non Afrihost user's.

Received some assistance via WhatsApp. Really great service. Mali was the person who helped me. Quick response time. Answered my questions to my satisfaction. And even sent me a link to speed up the process. I highly recommend using Afrihost's WhatsApp platform for your queries/any problems you might have.

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.
