What great customer service and a warm welcoming experience at the head office. Felt like I was at a business lounge. The friendly lady at reception, made a great cappuccino, and Braydon went out of his way to help me, while I was enjoying my coffee .. I am pleasantly surprised.

So I have been with Afrihost for almost a year, it was a rocky road to be honest in the beginning (bad customer care), but all things said and looking at the entire situation as a whole - I would say the positives do out way the negatives. My biggest gripe was having to work with Openserve in trying to successfully schedule a day for Fiber installation, spoiler, four bookings were made and confirmed by Openserve, that never went anywhere, they just would not show up, regardless of the four "technicians", times or dates, they are unreliable in every sense of the word, and I would highly suggest Afrihost drop their partnership with them asap.

Wow, wow!! Afrihost @RyanS, thank you for your patience throughout the WhatsApp session. I've probably asked so many unnecessary and repetitive questions but none the less, you still kept your cool. Afrihost client service, you impress me each and every time. Keep it up!!

Highly recommended! Been with afrihost for over 5 yrs, 3 home moves, and relocation to another town - no problem for Afrihost - reconnected timeously every time. I can count on one hand how many times I've experienced downtime and I'm always assisted courtesy and graciously 😉

Huge shout-out to Sharon S from Afrihost! What a fantastic help she was. She provided clear, friendly, and effective service that went above and beyond. It's rare to get such great help, and it really makes a difference. Highly recommend!

I’m extremely happy with Afrihost. When I first moved to Vaalpark, I had tried a few ISPs to only be disappointed. Until a friend of mine recommended Afrihost. I moved over to them and haven’t regretted it a single day. They gave me everything I needed in an ISP. No speed reduction in the evenings. And honestly the best value for money. And special offers for being a loyal customer.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
