I had nothing but excellent service in my time with them, the only reason I moved was there inability to match pricing with there competitors. These days pricing means a lot when clients are scraping the bottom of the barrel, all due to circumstances .

I have been with Afrihost on and off for many years. My website has been hosted by them since 2010. I have left them as my internet provider once or twice but always go back. I am now back for good! They ARE the BEST!!

Some of the best client service I have experienced in SA! Their communication through WhatsApp and their call back function works excellent, with a call back in literally less that 3 minutes. Every agent I have spoken to was very well trained and friendly, making it a pleasure to deal with Afrihost!

Been without internet for 2 days with a teenager in the house, is an absolute nightmare! Contacted Afrihost, I initially thought it was an outage, but the issue was with the router. In a couple of minutes I was guided by Nombulelo M, how to hard reset the router, the settings was fixed and the internet is up and running! Thank you for making this process so easy. Excellent Service!

(Translated by Google) When you experience a problem that is extremely rare, Afrihost helps you lightning fast. Afrihost's technical experience is very good which is extremely important. Afrihost is always very friendly and communication is extremely easy. Afrihost definitely cares which means a lot to me. Thank you for your excellent service in a country where things are no longer as good as they could be. (Original) Wanneer Jy n probleem ervaar wat bitter min is, help Afrihost mens blitsig vinnig. Afrihost se tegniese ondervinding is baie goed wat uiters belangrik is. Afrihost is altyd baie vriendelik en komminikasie is uiters maklik. Afrihost gee beslus om wat baie beten vir my. Dankie vir Julle uitstekende diens in n land waar dinge nie meer so goed is as wat dit kan wees nie.

I've been with Afrihost since 2021 and they are great. There are slight issues with the internet now and again but not hectic enough that it ruins my day or my experience. They are always on point and their whatsapp team is awesome❤️

I whish Afrihost can share their secret to deliver excellent service to the world. We can all follow suit. I have never experienced such an excellent service. Even saying excellent service is an under statement..... There's no words to describe their service.

I will recommend Afrihost ANYTIME. They are always available for support, whether its their technical department or accounts/admin department. They will stay on the line and guide you step by step until you are sorted, whether its a technical problem or admin issue. They can call me back if I need them to. They are just perfect. I am using the uncapped data in my phone and I've got data everywhere I go, limitless.

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.
