I set up my parents fibre account. The fibre was installed by vumatel and Afrihost their ISP. As Afrihost wasn’t open, I tried the WhatsApp function. Germaine was the person helping me on the other end. He/She was really professional, helpful and we managed to set up the fibre and get everything working in no time. Really GREAT service. Thank you!

Afrihost has been a Brilliant Service Provider on every Level since I made the move in early 2019, not once can I fault their commitment to you as an individual and as their customer. Due to their Amazing Service, in almost 3 years, I have moved over a JHB Football Club, my entire Family (5 x accounts), close Friends (7 x accounts) and counting, into the Afrihost Family. Thank you to Dean Suchard for starting my journey at Afrihost, you were right your Service is exceptional and you made this so easy. Thanks! A Special mention to Char Bonneau, wow, what an amazing person, every time we interact, I feel like Char is sitting right next to me or with my family / friends to help sort out the issue, or get a new service activated or just being there to find out if we okay. It's rare to find a person that is so individually committed to their customers and holds their organization in such high esteem. Afrihost is better with you. Thank you to the Afrihost Team, keep up the Amazing Service.

I would like to express my gratitude for the assistance provided by the WhatsApp agent, Thandolwetu. Their support was exceptionally helpful and exceeded my expectations. My router issue was resolved in less than 30 minutes. I sincerely appreciate the assistance received.

I somehow managed to lose my Wi-Fi connection on all my devices. I contacted Afrihost and spoke to Tutu. He was very helpful, and assisted me via the Afrihost WhatsApp chat. We setup my Wi-Fi name and new password, and I was up and running on all my devices in no time. Thanks Tutu, and Afrihost for the excellent service. This is rarely found nowadays! Well done

We've been with Afrihost/ Vumatel since 2019 - Pleasant service, no hassles, reliable internet connection at all times, I don't recall being without Internet, even with loadshedding and our UPS, our line and experience has been nothing but perfect. We're happy to move to our new home and continue our Journey with Afrihost/ Vumatel there, they've become a huge part of our Family. 🙂

Wow! What a refreshing experience, to be able to get help at 7am in the morning - and on WhatsApp! Their offering also way surpasses my current supplier, can't wait to move over!

Been quite the eye opener as I only come to realize that I am so outdated with technology, that even Vuyolwethu made me better understand it without even realizing it. They've been calm and relaxed with me with all the screenshots and questions. Excellent customer service. 👌

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.
