I have been a client of Afrihost since way back. 2006 or 7. Never had a problem they could not solve fast. And all the different products I used over the years was reliable.

I love Afrihost. I've been with them for years and haven't experienced major issues. I always receive excellent, friendly and efficient service from the Customer Support Center and would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a service provider that gets the job done in a quick and efficient manner. You can chat with them via WhatsApp too. It takes seconds to get in touch with a call centre operator and they are actually human! :-)

So far so good. Ordered my fibre on Tuesday. All was up and running on Friday. Their service is a refreshing uplifting hope for customer service in South Africa. They make use of latest technologies and processes. Only criticism would be to have a status update on each step, to remind one what is next and what is to be done, but their response time on enquiring is fast and on the ball. Lets hope the service standard are maintained in my new relationship with Afrihost and Octotel. Bye bye Telkom it has been awful. Hello super fast internet.

I have been a life long customer of Afrihost. Amazing deals are what first got me to sign up, however the exceptional service I have received by them over the years is what has kept me using their services.

Afrihost is a superb ISP. I highly recommend them to anyone. It is a pleasure to deal with them if you have a problem as they are helpful in problem solving and will escalate matters when required. You are not shunted from one department to another as is the norm in most businesses in SA today. Keep up the outstanding service Afrihost!

There were some hiccups at first from my side. Afrihost was patient and kept me in the loop at all times and my fibre was installed within no time. I can recomend Afrihost to anyone.

Just wanted to give a big thank you to Refentse for the way they handled my fibre installation query. From the get-go, they were on the ball—friendly, clear, and genuinely helpful. No runaround, no vague answers, just straight-up service with a great attitude. It’s not every day you get someone who actually listens and takes the time to make sure you’re sorted. Refentse made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and that kind of service deserves recognition. Appreciate the effort and professionalism,keep up the great work!

I’ve been using Afrihost for my fiber connection, and I’m consistently impressed by their outstanding service. Every time I’ve had an issue, their team has been quick to assist and resolve it efficiently.

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.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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.
