One of a small handful of IPv6 providers and it works. No issues or begging for details. I'm not a big fan of using bots, but I get to a real agent that has never failed to be polite or understanding. Thank you

Onthatile demonstrated exceptional customer focus and proactive problem-solving. As a new Afrihost customer, I was able to get the assistance I needed quickly, but what stood out most was that she went beyond my initial request and took the initiative to resolve an additional issue I was experiencing. Her communication was professional, helpful, and solution-oriented. She made the interaction feel effortless and showed genuine commitment to ensuring that my overall experience was positive. Key strengths demonstrated: ✅ Excellent customer focus ✅ Proactive problem solver ✅ Takes ownership beyond the immediate request ✅ Professional and helpful communication ✅ Strong commitment to customer satisfaction Overall: Onthatile is a great example of someone who doesn't simply answer a customer's question—she takes ownership and makes sure the customer leaves with their problem actually resolved.

I encountered a challenging technical situation today. Using the WhatsApp chat support feature on Afrihost was super easy and Ricky was so on the ball. Sorted out my query immediately and gave me very thorough information and support. Very fast and efficient service!

The service received from Afrihost was amazing. I have had 3 interactions with this company since taking a SIM card with them and each instance was handled speedily and the issued effectively resolved. I will highly recommend Afrihost. In fact, I have been a loyal customer with another network since 2010 and considering changing permanently due to the service received..and also the pricing

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!

The best service I've ever received from an internet service provider. They even have me a free domain for a year. My family has been with them for decades and non of us have any complaints. I love Afrihost!

The agent was patient and always polite when getting back to me during my interaction via WhatsApp. I was assisted with my query and was asked to assist with any other queries. The agent was again patient advising how to resolve my query. I was also assisted as to how to make the payment on my app. Truly appreciate the customer service provided.

Afrihost is the best. Professional remote IT consultants, great value for money. The excellent service and patience from Ricky Sithole, made me feel like I had my own IT techician, just like in a big company set up.

I have changed my payment details and the debit order could not go through. I contacted Afrihost via WhatsApp. Within a few seconds, Mfanelo G solved the problem and I was up and running in no time. Thank you for such excellent customer service.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
