I have been with Afrihost now for more than 5 years and their service is still exceptional. The client portal where I can manage everything myself is great and if I need to talk to someone, the support staff is friendly and fast in resolving any issues. I have openly recommended Afrihost to many and will continue to do so. Thanks Afrihost, for providing an excellent service.

I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate having the live chat assistance from an Afrihost technician over Whatsapp. This Saturday morning George assisted me over Whatsapp with patience and understanding with router issues after problems with our OpenServe fibre line was fixed. Afrihost, you are setting a high standard in customer service, service on a level that I can only dream of from other vendors. I would recommend Afrihost without reservation to all my friends and family. Thanks a million.

The "pay as you go" type of service is wonderful. No long term contracts, no hidden small print. Afrihost makes the financial part of owning a cell phone really pain free.

The most important thing Afrihost gets right that most other Service Providers continue to fail at, is having consistently responsive and helpful customer service. Excellent

(Translated by Google) Afrihost's products and service are great. Help is just the proverbial click away. (Original) Afrihost se produkte en diens is puik. Hulp is net die spreekwoordelike een kliek ver.

Afrihost offers great customer service! I made an WhatsApp Enquiry, and a friendly consultant immediately responded. He was patient and understood my question. He took me through detailed steps, offered advice even demonstrated using an image to ensure we were on the same page. Thank you Afrihost

Sicelo G is an absolute superstar. The patience was beyond with me. This is why I will not use anybody else. The WhatsApp support is efficient, knowledgeable and patient which must be quite a challenge at times I am sure.

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.

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.
