Very helpful and thorough. I did however mention to the agent, that I will have to monitor the service throughout the day to see if I am going to have the same problem with the signal interruption.

Excellent service, I’m in the pre-order phase for my area (so technically not a full-on client) yet the service received thus far has been bar none

Afrihost provides affordable and quality fibre service, their installation was quick and free, their whatsapp team is also quick and very helpful regardless of the issue presented. After 4 years of using their services I can definitely say it's been more than worthwhile.

Everything was easy to do, even when I got stuck got assisted by Portia M on chat and was relieved after the step by step process of assistance. Can't wait to use the services as my sister's son card arrived and everything is there as shown.

There is no better Internet Host - Provider than Afrihost in South Africa. You can try - but as a host of multiple website for over 20 years, laying out fibre, you will make a big mistake using anyone else than Afrihost. I've learned my lesson the hard way, do not fall in the same trap - just use Afrihost!

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.
