Afrihost is always easy to reach and quick to assist with technical questions and problems. As a small business owner I am very pleased with their support and often jump onto a WhatsApp chat with their support team. It's like having a whole IT team at my disposal.

Super support! Always professional, patient, fight for you with infrastructure providers, communication good. Just idea sometimes consider or ask the customer or user are you technical in order to provide direct support. Small thing for an excellent ISP.

Have had great service level and technical assistance, down to isolating a Fibre fault between the road to my house, and they arranged all the admin for me. Highly recommend

Afrihost is always helpful whenever I have queries. Not only are they quick at answering the phone when I call, the consultants always have a professional demeanor. Today I was assisted by Simphiwe and it was another great experience interacting with Afrihost.

I have been using Afrihost for a number of years (Fibre via Frogfoot) and have now added Airmobile to the mix. Any issues / queries are resolved efficiently via a dedicated WhatsApp chat with a real person (lol) and not a bot. The only problem I have is that if there is an issue after hours, on weekends or public holidays then one can't get the problem resolved until normal working hours resume. Though I must say this has happened few and far between and is sometimes resolved before the need to contact them. I still rate them 5 stars though.

The wifi connection is very strong compared to the other companies we've used. They're very good with solving any issues you may have and I definitely recommend Afrihost.

How my experience started he was amazing sorted out all my issues after my previous service provider well NOT anymore as they were liquidated and left me with no internet, which is crucial when working from home, so thank you Thandolwethu L for your assistance, now let's hope openserve can be as efficient

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.
