It's truly amazing how during the stressful and anxious days we are live with this Coronavirus I am still able to have awesome technical support from Afrihost and Siphesihle N.

Great service, was in store this morning to collect a sim card & modem. The collection and sim activation process was painless and once I had configured the modem to my existing network I was up and running.

Just have a basic website and emails with Afrihost and I am no hosting expert, but the few times I have had issues, it was very easily solved over whatsapp.

I've been with Afrihost for almost a decade and their service has continued to meet (and sometimes surpass) my expectations. Recommended entirely.

She understood my issue and informed me that my incident had been logged for the technician. They will respond or visit if needed to resolve the problem. The technician on standby arrived promptly at 8 o'clock to repair the broken line.(05-April-2025 Thank you for your assistance Kelebogile ,Nomvuyiso and Jesse k.

What a pleasure to work with people that no and have a passion for what they do and provide. Moved ISP servuces from Telkom after 40 odd years. After months of frstratstion with Telkom Afrihost contacted me to say I'm up and ready to connect and start. Quick and easy setup had me streaming and surfing. For the first time in years my service has been stable and constant. With multiple streaming devices and home office, not a glitch or any mother buffer. Should have moved years ago.

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.

Afrihost is an excellent ISP. They honour their commitments, goes the extra mile and resolve misunderstandings amicably. I have fibre and mobile products with them

My experience thus far is that Afrihost seems to have competent client facing people. When you explain a problem they understand, communicate effectively and take active steps to resolve it. I've been able to get assistance without hassles or holding or anything like that. Their portal is very easy to navigate and gets updated regularly to keep you informed. The Afrihost system has its problems, for instance I was billed and received confirmation that my line is active, yet no installation had taken place. They fixed this promptly though. Overall I'm very satisfied with Afrihost and Compared to Vodacom, Afrihost is tops! This is mostly due to their communication and their customer service people being competent and easy to reach.

Always good service and easy to communicate on the WhatsApp channel should I need assistance. User interface is easy to understand and use. Pricing is fair and SLA is brilliant

What a pleasure to sign up with Afrihost. Fast efficient and kind assistance. I appreciated the well trained staff and the fact that I did not HAVE to talk to Willie the Bot as my only form of communication from an ISP! Who would have thought that talking to a qualified call centre agent could be so nice! I now too have a line that has gone from 25mb to 200mb for just another R140 Rand! My advice: Don't suffer in silence and pay in silence . There are much better offers out there. Loyalty today seems mostly one sided.

Best service with signing up. Although I’m not a contract client with Telkom I still have to pay a full month payment with Telkom and it helps having no first payment with Afrihost. Great sign up with ease and all correspondence efficient. Thanks Afrihost team

We moved our fiber to Afrihost. Put order in on 31/03/2024 which is the day our previous ISP ended. Waited until after public holiday and on 02/04/2024 the new line was requested, approved and activated. The new router is on its way but we are already online with our old router. Amazing service, great app and super fast internet. We are very happy.

We have been using Afrihost at home fibre since 2019 & have had minimal problems with their service. On the odd occasion that there was an issue it was quickly sorted out via their WhatsApp. I definitely recommend them to all my friends

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.
