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

I was so pleased with the Themba that I requested to speak with her again. But the system picks the first avaiable operator. But the assistance is great.

Have been with Afrihost from pretty much the beginning of my internet experience. Both customer service and internet service has been really good. I would recommend them.

Experience is always good but I think payfast need to work on there links that direct you how to do things "changing card info" it's not the same as what you see on the screen

They are very helpful, and take the time to understand your issue and explain things to you. Your issues aren’t rushed to get you out of the queue and move onto the next person.

Love their customer support! No more waiting for hours on the phone just to have it hung up when you finally get through like so many other companies. Thanks Afrihost!

Afrihost is great !!!! Vumatel is useless and they have monopoly in areas, this needs to be addressed. This picture shows how they place a box - underground on the neighbours property, damaged by ants and now dampness and they see nothing wrong!

Ordered their Pure LTE package. From ordering off their website to receiving my package in hand was less than 24hrs. Brilliant service guys - Thankyou! They even prepared the router for me so all I had to do was plug in which was flawless. MTN and Vodacom… you guys have no understanding of Customer & Service.

Frustrating network problem was fixed speedily and expertly by George M of Afrihost. No lengthy explanation was needed from my side and problem was sorted via photographs and written word. Great service by Afrihost and a definite recommendation from me!

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.
