Had the best customer service via whatsapp service from Mr Lesley M. The patience and time he took to make sure my query is resolved showed the culture of afrihost as the best Fibre service provider! Kudos to Mr Lesley and Afrihost.

I've been migrating from another slow, without network at times service to another reliable one as promised. The guy who helped me was excellent, very professional and kept on asking me if there's anything else I need help with. To me that's more than just service, it's a top-notch service.

Excellent service. WhatsApp chat very helpful... Been with Afrihost for years and service is excellent. Staff always helpful. Pricing of products great. Suggest Mtn data offered by Afrihost consider offering specific WhatsApp data purchase for those that need to use WhatsApp for work purposes whereby WhatsApp data and calls be used for WhatsApp only and STD data be used for general internet usage. Ensures that if STD data runs out u still have WhatsApp data for WhatsApp use for work and emergency and calls. Something Afrihost must try to negotiate with mtn and offer to Afrihost/Mtn clients additional to the STD data pckg offers.

With support personnel such as Faith, it is really easy to see why Afrihost has been ISP of the year 7 times! Continue with what you awesome guys are doing, number 8 is up next!!

Their Client Portal offers everything you need for web hosting and takes a lot of the hassle out of setting up a domain and hosting package. Support staff are also friendly and knowledgeable.

I have been a customer for years and am very happy with the service provided; it just works. And on the odd occasion, if I did need support, excellent and knowledgeable staff.

I’d like to commend the support I received. The representative quickly recognized that I’m familiar with routers and computers, and went the extra mile by thoroughly testing my internet connection. He provided clear instructions for running trace routes, asked me to share screenshots of the results, and performed additional checks to ensure the issue was properly addressed.

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
