Highly recommend Afrihost. They provide a much better service (and more affordable) than MTN themselves. I also really appreciate the free monthly 1GB data every month. 😁

Had an issue with fibre (woke up and there was no internet). Reached out on WhatsApp to the afrihost customer chat and I was helped within a few minutes. My fibre is now up and running. Thank you!

I engaged with Thulanie on the whatsapp line earlier today on a new promotion. Quick response and extremely professional. The service at Afrihost has always been on point. Never delays and very prompt in dealing with any issues related to connectivity.

I contacted Afrihost via WhatsApp this morning and didn't have much faith that I would be assisted, based on experience from other companies. All I can say is Wow, how I was proved wrong. Musa Khumalo promptly assisted me, and in no time my issue was resolved. Well done, it gave me hope that there is still customer service out there.

So far, I am super impressed with the professional service which is fast and keeps the client in the loop at all times. They responded immediately to a query.

I received friendly call center assistance and regular updates on my very complex query. I really didn't even need to follow up, or ever feel neglected. I trust Afrihost because so far they haven't given me a reason not to. I would certainly recommend them, for peace of mind and hassle-free service.

As a technically challenged person I normally confuse everyone trying to help me electronically, but today I was helped by Thabo from Afrihost in record time. He has been well trained by them on customer satisfaction and technically too. Afrihost is one of the very few companies I can clearly believe who understand their customers and do their utmost to help us.👍👊

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.
