Anyone can provide a service but providing support after that is rare. I was able to contact quickly and although my problem wasn’t sorted I was advised to open a ticket.

Their online Whatsapp Customer service based approach is on point. Lately a tad bit slow but eventually the ball does get rolling. Always had great service from he Whatsapp Service consultants. Thanks for making it user friendly.

I needed help setting up my Outlook email. There was a bit of a hiccup, because I needed to follow steps regarding updating my password on the Clientzone and re-entering new logins on AfriHost in order to active my Outlook mail. Nonetheless, Nicholas was an excellent help. I am overjoyed that I found someone who was patient and clear with me. Excellent service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Today at 10:08 I contacted Afrihost via WhatApp. Hlayisani M logged the fault so the technicians can come out. After a few minutes got a call from Vuma confirming the fault. Just before 13:00 the technicians came and sorted out the fault. Thanks to everyone involve Keep Up the Excellent service you'll doing.

Wow! And Wow again! Super service and very knowledgeable technicians. Struggled with my wifi new device setup and Sipho made magic via only a WhatsApp chat. Well done team Afrihost! And thank you!

I had a problem with my debit order payments and used WhatsApp to interact with one of Afrihost's technicians. His name is Larry and found him to be knowledgeable and had patience with my repetitive questions.

Thanks team. I think it would be a useful exercise to keep track of how customers have been helped. I had three very helpful agents try and test the same thing on my fibre line and each time the outcome was that it is a fibre issue and not anything related to AfriHost. It took up 2.5 hours of my time and it was unnecessary 🙏🏼

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!

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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.
