I had an excellent experience with Afrihost during my recent relocation. Getting WiFi activated can often be a stressful process, but this was the complete opposite thanks to their amazing service. A special thank you to Leonard, who assisted me throughout, he was absolutely wonderful! Friendly, patient, and incredibly efficient, he made sure everything was set up smoothly and without any delays. His communication was clear, and he went the extra mile to ensure I was up and running as quickly as possible. It’s rare to receive this level of service, and it truly made a big difference during my move. Afrihost has an outstanding team, and Leonard is a true asset to the company

Exceptional service I recently received from Blessing M. I had the pleasure of interacting with him regarding an issue I was experiencing⁶⁶, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed by the level of professionalism and efficiency displayed throughout the process. From the moment I reached out for assistance, I was promptly addressed and provided with immediate support to help resolve my issue. The responsiveness and attentiveness demonstrated by Blessing M truly exceeded my expectations. Not only was my problem resolved swiftly, but the assistance I received was delivered with a high level of expertise and care. I believe that outstanding customer service should be recognized and celebrated, and I want to commend Blessing for his dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction. It is clear that he values his customers and goes above and beyond to deliver top-notch service. Thank you once again for the excellent support I received. I am truly grateful for the positive experience and look forward to continuing my relationship with your company.

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.
