It was a pleasure to have been helped by Nonhle. It took a bit of time. But my problem was fixed with a bit of patience. It is good to be associated with Afrihost. They go out of their way to assist. Excellent service provider.

What great customer service and a warm welcoming experience at the head office. Felt like I was at a business lounge. The friendly lady at reception, made a great cappuccino, and Braydon went out of his way to help me, while I was enjoying my coffee .. I am pleasantly surprised.

My line had just been activated, but I needed to have the router from Afrihost in order to actually connect to the internet despite the line being "active". Dineo M assisted me to set up my current router to ensure that I have access to the internet until the router from Afrihost arrives! 10 stars!!! Patience and outstanding customer service!! Not disappointed that I made the switch to Afrihost! Thanks again Dineo M! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Afrihost's whatt app helpline is amazing. No long telephone calls holding on like we use to have with Telkom ADSL. Best decision to move to Fibre and Afrihost. Thank you

I had a problem with my debit order payments and used WhatsApp to interact with one of Afrihost's technicians. His name is Larry and found him to be knowledgeable and had patience with my repetitive questions.

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.
