Easy to join and set up their wifi service. Various subscription options to cater for a variety of needs. Hassle free internet connectivity. Whatsapp assistance is superb.

I have always received the utmost care and good customer service from Afrihost. Even when I am in the wrong, they try to be most accommodating to my customer satisfaction. I applaud them for that, and I can definitely recommend them to anyone for all their services. Thanks for listening.

Afrihost is always helpful and sorts out your issues quickly. They are also very patient when you ask them dumb question LOL. I must say though I seldom have internet issues .

Incredible service backed with a system that actually works. We had used a few competitor's in the area, always having faults which could never get resolved. Afrihost is both more affordable per value fiber package and is stable with their service. Hardly ever having issues, when they occur, it is delt with swift and efficient accuracy. Highly recommend 👌🏼

Exceptional Service, Year After Year I’ve been using AfriHost for many years, both for business and personal purposes, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a single bad experience. From the quality of their products to their outstanding customer service, AfriHost has consistently exceeded my expectations. In an industry where issues can often arise, AfriHost has proven to be almost flawless. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, their support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to find a company where everything, from account management to service delivery, runs this smoothly. On top of all that, their pricing is very reasonable for the level of service they provide. I highly recommend AfriHost to anyone looking for reliable and well-priced hosting and internet services. It’s been a fantastic experience, and I will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come.

I have been struggling to find my verification code but Comfort to me through it, when I was done with that stage I was assisted by Themba K to confirm my order details and delivery very efficiently. I'm happy to be part of Afrihost.

The WhatsApp assistance team is excellent! So much easier when one can send screenshots of the actual issue instead of explaining via a phone call.

Been my isp in the adsl times, and I only left because a rival was the only one supplying fibre at my house. Moving back to afrihost now as fibre is now available through them as well. I am paying a little bit more for their service as well, so should tell you everything about what I think of them. Great company.

Way better than vuma or webafrica with regards to client feedback and transparency! Webafrica or vuma still owes me money which they refuse to refund. No way of contacting them with our being routed to different departments and still getting no answers

Had to get back to Afrihost since Frogfoot didn't receive a submission with all the necessary documents for my fibre migration application. Larry S was very quick to assist me with a resubmission from Afrihost's side.

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.
