Excellent Support from Afrihost! I had an amazing experience with Afrihost’s WhatsApp support team. The response was quick, friendly, and extremely helpful. They guided me through everything I needed with professionalism and patience. It’s rare to find customer service this efficient and attentive—super impressive! Highly recommend Afrihost for both their services and top-notch support.

I would like to thank Afrihost and Vumatel for getting me connected in my new home within 2 days. I was assisted telephonically by Mtunzini in the Fibre technical department of Afrihost to activate my router and he would not put the phone down untill it was resolved. Amazing service thank you. Very happy.

There's no other service provider for me. I recommend them to all of my clients. Have never experienced any downtime with Afrihost since 2018. Their support team is fast, knowledgeable and friendly.

Service is fast. Packages are so affordable that one will think it is a scam. Well Afrihost is legit. Signal is better even though it received from another network's infrastructures. Great service.

In the 7 years that I have been a client, I have only had two days that the fiber was out due to a connection of the actually. I have added more lines and they seem to be the quickest of the ISPs for new installation in new areas additionally I have never had any admin issues with billing or other problems that arise from dealing with Openserve (in all my cases)

Since moving from MWEB I've had nothing but excellent service and uptime from Afrihost. I work from home and my connection is vital. Even when an issue comes up they help, even on weekends!

I first used another company to assist with a domain and email. A week later and the email is still not working, they admitted the fault is on their side. Afrihost assisted me in less than 10min. Fantastic service! I highly recommend Afrihost

Quite enjoy the fact that I can message my ISP any time and get almost instant and live feedback from one of their technicians. Great service to provide and even better if you are the client.

I was having trouble with webafrica for a whole month I've been wanting fibre but it was one problem after another...with afrihost I managed to place an order and had it confirmed in less than 20mins.

I Love how quick and fast they are with their reactivations or reconnections, as long as your router hasn't been damaged or there's no LOS light flashing red as soon as you make your payment they get you reconnected immediately. Their WhatsApp customer service is very nice they respond to you fast and they transfer you to an agent within 3 minutes.

I’ve been helped by many individuals from Afrihost and all are outstanding, but the service I got from Khanyi today is the best service I ever received from them 🫡

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.
