Without a doubt, afrihost provide the best customer service I have ever experienced from an internet service provider. The quality of their service, combined with their competitive pricing and no contracts locking you in, is the reason I now use them as my mobile network provider.

Customer service is on point. Everytime I've had an issue with my line I would send an email or chat via whatsapp and my issue was resolved very quickly.

My query was assigned to Shingirai, it was very frustrating and took over an hour. Shingi was super patient and professional. I was amazed at the outstanding level of customer service I received on a Saturday late afternoon, when their offices are supposedly closed. THANK YOU SHINGIRAI and Afrihost that your excellent customer service does not keep business hours!

No ISP is perfect, but I've enjoyed good service from Afrihost for years and it seems to me they genuinely seek out continual improvement and I appreciate that.

There are not enough words that will describe the unbelievable service received from Mr Gian Visser, Kgothatso Lechuti and a gentleman whose name I unfortunately do not know. These 3 gentlemen went far and beyond for me and I am absolutely humbled by their kindness. Thank you to all.

Honestly, Afrihost is the best there is. I've never used any other hosting company and not planning to either because their service is effective and offers great value for money. My most favourite thing about their whole service structure is the support. I love that it's easily accessible, exists in different channels, prompt and highly responsive. Thank you.

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.

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.
