Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

I've been using Afrihost for all my websites for the past 4 years, and their service is just amazing. The whatsapp helpline is the best thing that they could have done, the response has always been fast an effective.

I ordered a line from Afrihost and unfortunately it only synced at 10 meg where the order was for 50. First contact with Afrihost was professional and down to the point. confident to go forward with their services and would recommend their Client Zone port above other ISP's

Moved from Supersonic to Afrihost. Great service. Most competitive prices. Great customer service is just as important as great internet service. Supersonic has forgotten that. Afrihost understands that.

The service I recieved from Afri Host and Sandy today, was outstanding. Sandy was professional, friendly, patient and kind with me over a protracted issue - I have been with Afri Host for almost three years and am a very happy customer ❤

Unbelievable service and quality.... Ordered my fixed LTE at 9am in morning and received it after 2 hours... The routers were already set up with sim and wifi setting as per application, very thoughtful! Never seen anything like this in south Africa.... This is some ultra developed world kind of experience. Unbelievable!!

Afrihost is the best. The 24hr customer car facility is great and well thought. I was recommended by a colleague and will gladly recommended them to anyone.

Love dealing with them. THey are always professional, fast and very efficient. Whatsapp chats are super helpful and I was not transferred from one technician to another. One person deals with you from start to finish. Lovit, awesome service.

I have used Afrihost's service since shortly after their inception. I have always recommended them to friends as you are sure to get top notch service from them at very competitive and affordable prices!

Supportive, caring, patient, and the best service guaranteed. Unfortunately, I went instore to MTN for an uncapped deal and signed a 24 month contract on 28 October 2022. I have endless issues with routers failing, often no internet coverage, lets not mention the poor support and service. Because the 10 day cooling off period has passed I am stuck with them unless I pay out the contract. Completely disgusted. Word of advice - AFRIHOST is the best! Don't be hasty like me, get hold of Afrihost, their support team are helpful, their service is remarkable.

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.
