I’m an Afrihost customer for more than 8 years now, first with hosting, then LTe then ADSL & now fibre. Service is excellent as the WhatsApp help desk works perfectly. Their agents are well trained and ask the right questions (I’m in IT support). Minimal downtime, even with load shedding.

Been with them for more than 3 years. Best internet provider by far. Once there was a issue they immediately apologised and sorted the matter. Thank you Afrihost

We've had a great experience with Afrihost the past 8 months. The initial set up was super easy and our router arrived quickly. The app is ridiculously user friendly! We are tech savvy people but I do feel that people that aren't will get the hang of it quickly. Being able to get support on WhatsApp is also so convenient. Very happy with our decision to go with Afrihost!

I have switched to Airmobile and had a few questions about the product. Each Whatsapp interaction was smooth. No waiting time to chat to a person and everyone has been very helpful. Amazing staff work here.

Been with Afrihost since 2018 for Fibre. Best ISP I've experienced. I also make use of their domain parking and airmobile services and plan to make use of more of their services in future. I also found them to be decently priced.

You get help so fast. The WhatsApp Chats are very HELPFUL. Very cost effective. I don't have to call Afrihost. I just WhatsApp them and they respond in a minute. 🤗 Thank you, Afrihost Fibre for the effective responses and help.👏👏💅

If you are dealing with Nomvuyiso N. at any point, you are in good hands and I am confident your issue or query will be resolved, mine was resolved before the end of the conversation. Very impressed and give this person a raise! Nobody asked this but as a client I think employees like this should be well looked after. (Nomvuyiso, I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries here but you were incredible! All the best). I am a very happy customer.

Afrihost for life :) I will never change Service Providers again. Support staff are professional and friendly. Service is stable, upload/download speeds are what you pay for. Keep it up Afrihost!

Not using Afrihost services as yet, but definitely signing up as soon as my cancelation with the weather related provider kicks in. Their service with regards to all my queries was of a very professional nature. Definitely signing up! As should the rest of South Africa.

✨I definitely refer AFRIHOST as NO. 1 SERVICE PROVIDER✨ in South Africa ... (should extend to Europe cos THEY'RE JUST BRILLIANT) I have all my accounts with Afrihost and have without a doubt, the best service an Internet Service Provider can offer. Their staff goes above and beyond in assisting with any technical issues you have. You have so many options of communication to choose from, WhatsApp, email, help section on website or call them. They are brilliant! Fast and accurate delivery of emails and service when required! Afrihost has provided a No1. service when I'm out of South Africa (International in Europe). I've always been treated with utmost quality of service and my businesses and personal accounts are treated the same...👌

Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

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.
