Been with Afrihost since 2017. I have experienced low latency throughout the years with a rock solid network. I really like the Clientzone app. It is easy to use. It also allows you to monitor your network on the go and upgrading your line is a breeze. They offer a rage of products and services to meet anyone's internet needs. General QoS has been rock solid. Afrihost are good in communication. Using the WhatsApp support chat and getting real technical support from a REAL person is really appreciated. No computer generated prompts! I'm pleased with Afrihost service. In my honest opinion. Will you be paying a bit more than some other ISP's? Yes! But it also means you'll be getting better service which makes it worth paying a little bit more. There is no better ISP at this moment. Keep up the good work 👍

I had a great experience with Afrihost agent named Suzan. The agent explained to me in such a manner, that I understood everything. Great service!

Tshilidzi did a great job understanding our conversation! If I were to rate his comprehension, I’d give him a 10/10 for clarity and responsiveness. 😊

The best provider with the most capable support. Highly recommend! Don't go directly to MTN if you need to operate fully remote, trust me on this.

The HELP menus and WhatsApp work well. The subscription is a bit messy as they try to up-sell things you don't need. That's disappointing and confusing.

Very happy with Afrihost and their prompt response to my queries. Not like other service providers that leave you frustrated and angry trying to explain to a robot that doesn't cater to your questions. Afrihost have real people who can answer directly. Excellent service. Lorraine Love

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.
