Is it possible that I change my debit date to the 25th of every month. My current debit order is in an awkward date and I sometimes do not have funds for it on that day

Afrihost provides affordable and quality fibre service, their installation was quick and free, their whatsapp team is also quick and very helpful regardless of the issue presented. After 4 years of using their services I can definitely say it's been more than worthwhile.

I’ve been with Afrihost for a few years. I’ve experienced excellent, helpful service. Well worth every cent! Highly recommended, hassle-free.

Customer support is definitely a major priority for Afrihost. The agents I have dealt with over the course of the past two weeks have been amazing at trying to sort us out. Unfortunately there are other ISPs out there who want to watch the world burn. Thank you Musa, Tutu and anyone else I've dealt with recently for letting me vent.

Been with Afrihost for sometime now and I have no complaints. Some may not like their services, but they've been great to me and my business.

All i can say is that if you looking for a network or sim card that is fast, reliable and always available whenever you need it, trust afrihost to give you that, furthermore i wanted to test my AfriHost sim coverage so i travelled from Johannesburg all the way to Mesina and their network and internet was still smooth and quick, what more would you ask for from a network?, nothing..Get yours before its late, Afrihost keep it up.

Been with Afrihost/Vumatel for 2 years and I must say I’ve never had an issue that wasn’t their fault. Usually in my area it’s damaged lines etc. My speeds are always consistent and such. Support is quick to answer and email correspondence is as equally fast sometimes I send an email and get a response back within minutes.

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.
