I can’t recommend Gregory enough for his exceptional service as a consultant. From the start, he took the time to walk me through all the available packages, clearly explaining the benefits of each. What stood out most was his integrity; he focused on what I actually needed for my specific usage rather than trying to upsell me on unnecessary, expensive plans. It is rare to find someone so realistic and honest in sales. His transparency has completely earned my trust, and he is undoubtedly the primary reason I’ve decided to remain a loyal Afrihost customer.

I have always received the utmost care and good customer service from Afrihost. Even when I am in the wrong, they try to be most accommodating to my customer satisfaction. I applaud them for that, and I can definitely recommend them to anyone for all their services. Thanks for listening.

90% of the time I am very happy with Afrihost. Now-and-then (load shedding problems?) I experience some slowdown, but mostly very happy with them.

I am overall very happy with Afrihost. There are the odd occasions where the First line support doesn't have all the info on network outages and so forth, but they always do what they can to assist. Response times on E-mail and WhatsApp has been the best for me out of all the other providers I have had over the years.

I was with a different ISP that was driving me insane if I needed assistance with service problems. Afrihost has blown me away with their friendly, knowledgeable and rapid service delivery. Afrihost is awesome

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.
