Absolutely fantastic. Since my application, installation and everything in between, Afrihost and its employees have been great. Always there to assist and very quick and efficient in delivering. I have tried other companies before, but Afrihost will always be my choice and I recommend them to everyone

Been with Afrihost for years. I generally don't think of them as my connection just works. On the rare instance where I do need to reach out for help, they are always attentive, friendly, and provide very effective support.

I know people complain about afrihost but I honestly don't see why. The two or three times my Wifi has been down in the 9 months I've been with them they've always resolved the issue quickly and courteously

Very reliable ISP, used them for years. Recently had to relocate line, and Xolani S. had me up and running in less than 30min at the new location, called me back to check it was working, etc... all round excellent service. You deserve a raise Xolani!

Prompt service when I complained about slow response. Agent assisted with step-by-step guidance to pinpoint the problem, which was with the router. The agent has also linked their email address to the work ticket to be able to keep an eye on progress, as they have understood the important of us getting a new router asap. Very impressed with the quality of service.

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.
