Whatsapp support is awesome. Mandla was awesome. Very seldom do I need to contact Afrihost support and when I do, problems are generally solved efficiently. Highly recommended ISP.

Great Service from Phakamisani, sorted my issue out effortlessly. Had the poor guy on WhatsApp for more than 2hours,but the service remained the same throughout. Keep it up Phakamisani

Doing what another ISP couldn’t get done! After 6 weeks of zero communication & no fibre installation with RSAWeb, Afrihost had us setup & installed, communicating the entire time. Their WhatsApp chat like is fantastic too. Thank you so much!

Afrihost is amazing, recommend them easily to everyone. They just need to figure out how to proactively notify their customers when the network is down. But I think they all have this issue.

Afrihost not only has products to meet your internet needs and speeds, whilst they also hold a compliment of staffing that has a willingness to assist you and guide you every step of the way. I recommend Afrihost to everyone who works remotely from home especially those who serve in international markets. They are also the number one ISP in our country of South Africa.

Efficient service. With literally everything from getting you connected for the first time or to getting your service reconnected. As many people have experienced reconnection issues but AfriHost was so so efficient

I love Afrihost! The registration was a little of a struggle because it was new to me. Getting to register my Router on their APN and just the payment method also. But once I was set, everything was smooth sailing ever since. Great custmer care, tops service! Awesome company this is!

The best ISP by far. From data to hosting and all, the service is just so excellent there aren't enough words to describe. If you got a tech problem, just mention it and leave the rest to the best "A" team. I am very satisfied and would recommend their services to anyone hungry for success. Joel

Service is on fleek! Customer care feels human and personal, sometimes you forget that you are a client, you feel like the agent knows you at a personal level. Great team spirit Afrihost!!!

WhatsApp service and commutation is fantastic! When I encountered a problem - a quick WhatsApp chat guided me through what needed to be done and it was smooth as can be. Very friendly and fast with the help, thank you!

Afrihost privides good WhatsApp service. Knowlegeable people with quick responses. Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻However, I still do not understand why they switched to Frogfoot in my area. It was for the worse and not for the better. When it rains, the WiFi service often goes for a loop. Seems water is Frogfoot's headache. Their response times to reports of service being down also is not pleasant. Two days for a response before they even start looking at the problem? Not on, sorry, I am a positive person but sometimes frustration gets to a person.😔☹

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.
