Ordered Pure Fibre 20 on 3 Dec. Openserve called on the 4th to schedule install and installed today 7 Dec. Just activated the my Fibre on my old B315 LTE router and it works! (while I wait for the new router I ordered to arrive). Love the WhatsApp support line, very quick responses. Love the ClientZone website. That was quick and painless!

I contacted Afrihost on WhatsApp and I was assisted by Neo M, I was bit confused about my order; he clarified everything, took me through all the steps. Afrihost doesn't only offer best services but hires passionate individuals. I'm happy with Afrihost 😎🤗.

I tried Afrihosts WhatsApp support Within 30 seconds I was chatting to Dineo. Within 5 minutes I was sorted. This is the best support I've received in a long long time. Keep it up Dineo!

Afrihost takes client care to the next level. Their service is amazing, you are chatting to an actual human being who does not take hours to respond, but the conversation is like a normal flowing one. Very happy migrator.

Afrihost is the one ISP that does not tie you to them with a long term contract. They even installed my fibre connection and gave me a wifi router free of charge and with absolutely no strings attached. They do however keep you tied to them by providing very good end-user support. There staff members are all knowledgeable, friendly and efficient in the manner in which they provide support.

The best, all enquiries solved quickly, responce rate absolutely great. TANNER is the definition of Brilliance :D .Fairly easy platform (client zone) would recommend to anyone. I had to come back and add a few comments ;D absolutely great,tech wise am on 0, but i managed to built my own website with the aid of previous QnAs. So if a person who just knows word can do it mm just smiles. 19/12/22 Received the worst of assistance today. I was calling because my website was showing errors and and it said disc usage full in cpanel. The guy could only say they can't assist contact your web developer, I told him I created it using YouTube so I don't know what's wrong myself. Last time we had a similar problem it was resolved just aftr emailing. He advised to upgrade the package, but that's not the solution,even f I upgrade it wi still happen and you will say upgrade again. I already have 8 different packages with afrihost, I know this is busines but after so many years how can the only solution to my problem be upgrade the package clearly they are not keen on helping or just define the service provided to just 'hosting any other things its not our area'

Great ISP! Can't wait to be an Afrihost client again. Not moving again and not changing providers again. Great and knowledgeable staff as well as a company that delivers what they promise

My experience with Afrihost has been amazing, the agents are kind understand your issue and tries to help to the best of their ability. Unfortunately Openserve makes their jobs a bit harder... Amazing team @ Afrihost: Sfiso M, Siphamandla N, Siphiwe M. I've dealt with these 3 agents and they clearly show that Afrihost is a top notch company. @ Management well done on having these amazing agents, I'm sure the company is overrun with top staff. Keep it up and THANK YOU all for an amazing service....Can someone put some flames under Openserve's behinds so my fibre can be up and running..... It's now 16days of waiting ugh Thanks Shafz

I have not been able to rate every agent I spoke to but the whole team is top notch! Even the courier company is proactive. Highly recommend this provider.

I have many sites with Afrihost and have used them for years. Each year, they improve and institute more value and services for the same money. I am always eager to encounter them during problems, which have been so few, and not related to their work. I recommend them fearlessly.

From day 1 Afrihost has been simply amazing. No problem to big for them to resolve. They even helped me out for 3 months when I was retrenched so that I could still find a job on the Internet. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Afrihost is always a great help with regards to assistance with our domain account. They are always willing to put their clients’ needs first even when times are unfavourable. Never an unpleasant experience with them.

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.
