I will recommend Afrihost ANYTIME. They are always available for support, whether its their technical department or accounts/admin department. They will stay on the line and guide you step by step until you are sorted, whether its a technical problem or admin issue. They can call me back if I need them to. They are just perfect. I am using the uncapped data in my phone and I've got data everywhere I go, limitless.

The WhatsApp service offered by Afrihost is some kind of MAGIC... Ompah displayed such patience and competence today in helping me to solve website backend access and mail access. IF I could have scored Ompah a 20/10 I would have. THANKS!!!!

Excellent service I got from a person called Sello. Afrihost must just fix their debit method as it sometimes don't debit automatically. This has to be really looked at bcoz it's a big inconvenience sometimes.

Great sim card that wont let you down. Is load shedding fading off ur network connection- leaving u in the dark and also without connection?? No problem! cause the network of this sim card is top-notch- stays connected even when it's 7 years of load shedding. The internet speed is to die for and what i love most about this masterpiece of a sim card is it's slow call ratings( believe me you could talk for hours 🤳). So if a speedy internet + lowest call rating is your thing ( at an amazing price 😃) then Afrihost is for you❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ N.B you wont regret it that's a fact.

I've been with Afrihost for many years now and I've only ever had to call them like 3 times. Which is amazing to me. Everything has been working swimmingly for so long.

More fan-girling from me about Afrihost. I resolved three separate queries with Gershom M over Whatsapp. If you're an introvert and your internet isn't with Afrihost what even are you doing? 🤔😂 This team is a WFH freelancers dream. Thanks guys!

My 2 year LTE contract with a mobile service provider ended in March 2020 - about the time when we had a national lockdown because of Covid-19. I have then decided to take the fibre option from one of the big cellular providers. These guys sent me from pillar to POST with the router, the temporary LTE and getting me up and running. When I contacted Afrihost, I have been assisted telephonically to determine my requirements. They've handled all the admin of cancelling the service which I did not receive from the other service provider and I have received my router on the same day. Afrihost did not dissapoint! It was the first time that I have received such great and quality service from a big brand in South Africa!!! I was able to work from home, with quality high speed internet!!! Afrihost is the BEST!... By far! Thank you Faith, Artur and Ruvan!

Afrihost is always helpful whenever I have queries. Not only are they quick at answering the phone when I call, the consultants always have a professional demeanor. Today I was assisted by Simphiwe and it was another great experience interacting with Afrihost.

Checking Pure DSL coverage

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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.
