Afrihost has a next level customer support and experience, their teams and knowledgable and truly helpful. I have never had an answer like 'Sorry I do not know or unfortunately we cannot assist'. They find out, help and fix it.

I’ve been an unhappy Telkom customer for a while now and after joining Afrihost they made Telkom’s customers service seem non-existent. I am very happy with Afrihost’s WhatsApp chat platform and the swift response to your queries. Also with their new Pure DSL say goodbye to landlines and the grip that Telkom had on the industry. Thank you Afrihost for this initiative and always evolving with new and exciting ideas to always put your customers first. You guys rock!!!!!!

I've been using Afrihost for gaming, and I must say the ping is excellent for playing Mobile Legends. The connection is stable, with minimal lag, which makes for a smooth gaming experience. Whether in casual matches or ranked games, I’ve had consistently low latency, allowing for quick responses and seamless gameplay. If you're looking for a reliable ISP for mobile gaming, Afrihost is definitely a great choice!

I have dealt with Afrihost for a number of years now and have found their service to be second to none. Reliable hosting on all of our websites, but most impressively, they have one of the best service departments I have encountered. Quick, accurate root cause identification and prompt service to remedy, even if the issue is of your own making.

Easy app to see invoices, top up airtime/data, etc. Friendly and helpful staff ready on whatsapp to answer questions and assist with problems.

Amazing service, you get to talk to a human, not like the other ISP's where you get automated responses which takes days to get a response from a human.

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.
