It's a great service provider. Every time I have a query, I quickly send a what's app. They normally reply with an automated message saying they are extremely busy, but they have always reply within a minute after a send a message. And they always help you.... Excellent service. Keep it up.

Their service and customer service in particular is always quick and efficient. Any issues I have had, I had used the Whatsapp helpline and been assisted quickly with solutions to my issue.

I have to be honest and say that I have only experienced the best service at Afrihost. Line stability and reliability is fantastic I had some many issues with my previous provider and have none of that with Afrihost. Excellent service

I have been with a handful of ISP’s over the years. They have all been relatively good since fibre has come due to the networks being so stable. But o will say that in terms of helpfulness and customer care, Afrihost have been really a cut above. I am fussy and I’m also in tech so I’m used to the textbook support that is geared to cover all levels of understanding. But I have been very impressed with Afrihost. Their attitude has been superb which matter more than anything. They are so keen to help wher other ISP’s often give you the “that’s just how it is” responses. Generalizing, of course, but overall I am very happy with Afrihost and don’t think I will change in a hurry. Pricing is all so similar anyway and it comes down to service.

I have been a life long customer of Afrihost. Amazing deals are what first got me to sign up, however the exceptional service I have received by them over the years is what has kept me using their services.

Best Web hosting company and their pricing is very competitive. Excellent service from the backup staff and their website is easy to use. I recommend them if you want to start your own website. Keep up the good work Afrihost.

Afrihost have been amazing in my area, I have been with them for many years now and I have been down maybe four days in total. When other people are complaining that they are down on Frogfoot I am up with no issues thanks to Afrihost, best ISP in the country, hands down.

My five-star rating is for the interaction regarding my order with Afrihost. I can't yet rate the actual internet and its reliability. I will do another rating once I have used the service for a month.

I have never experienced the cutting of an internet, as I was told before I engaged with the team"afrihost". Am experiencing nothing but the best. As for their services, on point come I tell you.

While I was being assisted by a lady called Palesa via WhatsApp I got a phone call from a lady called Catherine who assisted me faster. I'm still grateful for Palesa for not allowing me to give up. Catherine came at the right time.

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.
