I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Itumeleng M at Afrihost. Words cannot truly capture how appreciative I am of your kindness, professionalism, and unwavering dedication to assisting me. It's incredibly rare to encounter a service agent who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond, and you certainly exceeded my expectations. I believe service like yours comes from a true passion for helping others, not just a job. As a former service advisor myself, I can recognize excellent customer care when I see it. You took the time to ensure I fully understood the process, and I am deeply grateful for your efforts. Afrihost is fortunate to have someone with your exceptional customer service skills, and I sincerely hope your hard work and dedication are recognized and rewarded. Thank you once again for your outstanding service!

The WhatsApp assist feature for Afrihost is a great tool. I was able to be directed to an agent Arthur T within 5 minutes of logging my call. Arthur T then assisted me by asking the relevant questions to quickly understand my query. Upon investigation he was able to assist in getting my query escalated. Definitely loving the WhatsApp helpline especially because it’s available even on weekends.

I have been a client for many years and do everything internet related via Afrihost. My internet connection, hosting, voip etc. and the service I receive is really great. After sales service is in most cases a big problem with many companies, but certainly not at Afrihost. And there are many ways to help and be helped. Using whatsapp it takes one or two minutes and you are speaking to a professional. I am really happy.

Can't believe the service: On a Sunday afternoon 3 people (Mpho, Wilfred, Gopika & Themba) helped me reinstate & transfer an urgent domain (entire brand depending on it) - using 3 different channels (ticket, whatsapp help & email - all 3 channels worked well). Huge thanks to Afrihost for fast & reliable service when it mattered. Very impressed, thank you!

Afrihost never give any issues. Speeds promised are almost always achieved or very near to it unlike other ISP's whom are far too often the source of complaints on our neighbourhood WhatsApp group.. Afrihost rocks!

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!

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.
