We moved our fiber to Afrihost. Put order in on 31/03/2024 which is the day our previous ISP ended. Waited until after public holiday and on 02/04/2024 the new line was requested, approved and activated. The new router is on its way but we are already online with our old router. Amazing service, great app and super fast internet. We are very happy.

Affordable and reliable products with fantastic after sales support. Just had a whatsapp with Suzan M and they were patient and efficient and able to resolve my technical issues to great satisfaction. Thank you Suzan, and thank you Afrihost.

Just have a basic website and emails with Afrihost and I am no hosting expert, but the few times I have had issues, it was very easily solved over whatsapp.

Love dealing with them. THey are always professional, fast and very efficient. Whatsapp chats are super helpful and I was not transferred from one technician to another. One person deals with you from start to finish. Lovit, awesome service.

The best customer service rendered timeously. The agents are quick to respond to queries and make sure you get feedback without making you wait long

Afrihost has been managing my mobile resources and home wifi for quite a few years now and I have always had a good experience. I ported my number from one of the 'big two' cellular service providers who didn't give good customer service, and have never looked back. Calls are cheaper for me. And my account is essentially prepaid unlike the 2 year contracts I used to have.

Our school website was down, but both technicians I communicated with at Afrihost were very helpful and the problem was resolved within the hour from start to finish. Five stars!

Afrihost always amazed me on innovation on a wide variety of services at very competitive prices. Apart from that, I am drawn to its user friendly site and app; it covers just about everything. Well done!

I nearly didn’t go with Afrihost because I saw all the good reviews and thought it was fake reviews 😂 But I’m glad to say I’ve never experienced such good help from a company before. I can’t recommend them enough. Keep up the outstanding work Afrihost team 😁

Application to complete Installation in less than 24 hours. LOS issued resolved in less than 10 minutes. Great to know that if things go wrong, it will be sorted, Quickly. Some would argue that it shouldn't have been down in the first place but these things happen. 👌

Baden was friendly, efficient and saw to our needs in a matter of minutes. This makes 11 years of loyalty a worthwhile investment. Afrihost takes care of its clients.

Service improved since last interaction!!!! hosting is unstable and support is rubbish, whatsup support is delayed where you can spend 2 hours on a simple inquiry, call centre doesn't take calls anymore and when there is a national issue with hosting you find out by accident when you emails start bouncing later to discover that Afrihost is having issues. Will start looking for an alternative service provider

Had to edit my last rating. Had a terrible time with Afrihost support last year but this year was a breeze. Support team was on point and followed up on issues quickly!

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.
