I have been with Afrihost for more than 10 years now, there have been times when the internet when down (about 5 times) but most were sorted out quickly. Once Vumatel fault could resolve quicker because once their field team contacted me it was resolved within a few hours. But overall very good service.

Afrihost employees are very friendly and efficient. It's refreshing to come across such customer service. My issue has not been resolved but I'm satisfied with the way Faith M , Thabisile N, Thabang K and Tumelo R have assisted me.

I have had very little to no issue's with them since opening my account last year, as for the minor issues i have had, everyone had due to lines off of the coast going down.

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!

Made use of the WA contact support option which was an absolute pleasure. Response was quick, professional and accurate/to the point with no ambiguity from Blessing. A different experience when compared to most other call centres/WA support contact points that I have dealt with previously!

Had an issue with emails not sending / receiving when I was overseas. Ryan helped me in a super quick time and temporarily increased my quota which solved the issue till I get home

I am very happy with the Afrihost service, I host my email domain/addresses with them and I have not encountered any issues since I started using this service, which is over a year ago from this time of the review. The Clientzone website has all tools that I need and more.

Afrihost is hands down the best service provider I’ve ever dealt with! I recently had to move my line, and from the moment I placed the request right through to the installation and connection, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. I was assisted by Nomvuyiso via WhatsApp, and the service I received was outstanding. He was professional, patient, and incredibly helpful, explaining everything clearly and guiding me through the process step by step. It’s rare to experience such excellent customer service these days, and Afrihost truly exceeded my expectations. I honestly can’t see myself using any other service provider again. Highly recommended!

The service provided by Afrihost is certainly such a breath of fresh air! Alot of companies can take a page out of their book. From ordering a replacement router online to their whatsapp contact centre! Honestly don't think there are any ISPs that come close!

Every service provider has issues here and there. Afrihost has had the least issues for me so far. They are quick to assist when there is a issue. They have also given me the most stable connection so far.

Very quick, everything including install and activation was completed in less than 5 days. Great service, team is swift and professional. Way better service and experience than my previous service provider.

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.
