There are not enough words that will describe the unbelievable service received from Mr Gian Visser, Kgothatso Lechuti and a gentleman whose name I unfortunately do not know. These 3 gentlemen went far and beyond for me and I am absolutely humbled by their kindness. Thank you to all.

I’ve been with Afrihost for 14 years, being my internet provider on 3 different properties. They are absolutely amazing on support, and you deal with a human on the other end, not endless bot questions to go through.. highly recommended

Afrihost WhatsApp service was previously extremely slow and not worth the wait, but they seem to have upped their game, and Richard gave me some excellent service. Overall, Afrihost is the best.

(Translated by Google) Afrihost is the only service provider that provides professional friendly service at all times. At all times. Their staff is very well trained. Friendly at all times regardless of the frustration of their clients. (Original) Afrihost is die enigste diensverskaffer wat te alle tye professioneke vriendelik diens lewer. Te alle tye. Hulle personeel is Baie goed opgelei. Te alle tye vriendelik ongeag van die frustrasie van hul kliente.

Spoke to Siphesihle. She was exceptional. The fact that I got a response within a minute after sending "Hi" was a sign that I was off to a good start. Keep it up AfriHost.

...there are reasons why I chose Afrihost as my service provider over 8 years ago... firstly their advertising was 'catchy'... they responded swiftly when I needed them to...they provided the connectivity they promised continually...I briefly discontinued my relationship with them due to moving from Durban to Johannesburg... and the reconnection with them was absolutely hassle free...as was my move from ADSL to Fibre...I then disconnected again when I moved suburbs and experienced the same dedication that they have provided me with since the start of our relationship all those years ago...their whatsapp help line and their 'call me back' response times are mind blowing to say the least and they have an awesome 'Client Zone'. So I would like to thank EVERYONE at Afrihost for the seamless experiences I have had. This remains true to this day as I have just experienced…

Afrihost have been amazing in my area, I have been with them for many years now and I have been down maybe four days in total. When other people are complaining that they are down on Frogfoot I am up with no issues thanks to Afrihost, best ISP in the country, hands down.

I was with Afrihost years ago with only the best service and quick response when a fault occurred. I moved to my current location and were with another ISP and not so happy. I decided to go back to Afrihost and while the problem is not fully resolved yet, the service on their WhatsApp line on Saturday was professional, helpful and friendly. I trust that my internet connection will be resolved soon.

Really enjoy my experience with Afrihost so far! Their WhatsApp and telephonic assistance is always helpful, kind and patient and they’ve been providing my WiFi for 3+ years now without any problems. Would definitely recommend them! Please keep up the great service.

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.
