I ordered 5G wifi late yesterday afternoon after struggling with internet connection with another sevice provider. Afrihost delivered this morning and it was plug and play with a really strong connection. Thank you for the great service.

Good service, good pricing and generally good support - as a technical person with some pretty unrealistic needs for a home user they've always been willing to assist. 10/10

Have been with Afrihost for 3 years now and couldn't be happier with this provider. Even when I had to do the switch from cell c, it was seamless and very convenient. They resolve all issues quickly and efficiently. My internet connection is fast and reliable 99.9% of the time and if there is ever an issue, they notify via text message, although that seldom happens. I always recommend them to friends and family.

I am so impressed with the excellent customer service I received from Tinyiko. She was patient, professional, and very attentive to my needs. Tinyiko went the extra mile to make sure everything was handled smoothly and left me feeling valued as a customer. Her friendly attitude and willingness to assist made the whole experience stress-free and enjoyable. Thank you Tinyiko, for your outstanding service. I am truly satisfied and would highly recommend her to anyone!

I usually don't like doing reviews, but it helps with transparency for other people out there & for the business to see if they are doing things right. I have been dealing with Afrihost for around 20 years. All in all, they must be the best option out there for Fibre, Mobile packages, etc. Once you have had to deal with Helkom or (not so) Openserve or even Vodacom, MTN - you will have a refreshing experience with Afrihost. Just do some research first into the products & services. Or ask for them to call you if there is too much info overload on their website & you are unsure of which option to look into or choose. Try them for free too ... on current offers - under "Air Mobile" menu option.

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.
