Thulanie on the whatsapp customer care line is one of the most efficient and knowledgeable consultants I have dealt with, an absolute pleasure and sorted out and detected the problem in 5 min whereas others could not do the same in 24 hrs. Well done and thank you Thulanie.

We live remotely and Afrihost continues to surprise me in a country where we often have to swallow bad service. No chatbots on their sites. Real life size humans who go the extra mile. If I could I would have given them a 10 star rating. Keep up the good work.

We contacted Afrihost when we realized we had no wifi. They responded immediately. The communication was excellent. They are going out of their way to sort out the problem as they are aware our son needs wifi for online school. Since the fibre was installed, we haven't had any problems. We highly recommend Afrihost.

Had an issue with emails not sending / receiving when I was overseas. Ryan helped me in a super quick time and temporarily increased my quota which solved the issue till I get home

So, in my view this is the best ISP. Their pricing is slightly higher than competitors but it’s worth it. I’ve never been left hanging with queries, there’s always someone who helps me on WhatsApp, telephonically or I can resolve the issue on clientzone (their website) been using them since 2019 and I’m very happy still at 2023.

It has been effortless getting my internet connected. Afrihost's Whatsapp contact is awesome for troubleshooting and assistance is quick and easy. Using the Client Zone to check invoices, connectivity, etc. is very accommodating.

The reason for my considering to migrate is because web Africa does not have an inbound call centre and I don't fancy chatting over WhatsApp 2 a robot as the response time is usually very long. Issues can be resolved much quicker if you had verbal contact over the phone

Great app, easy to monitor and top-up your internet connection. Easy to see any faults, and a very convenient support system to resolve issues with your connection

I would like to express my gratitude for the assistance provided by the WhatsApp agent, Thandolwetu. Their support was exceptionally helpful and exceeded my expectations. My router issue was resolved in less than 30 minutes. I sincerely appreciate the assistance received.

I see alot of businesses are using whatsapp for support. I hate it due to the response time and the typing. However I dealt with Susan from Afrihost and she responded timeously and resolved my issue almost immediately.

I have been having afrihost account for over ten years now and their service is exceptional. I have not many words to express it except that AFRIHOST should be the government

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
