I’d like to commend the support I received. The representative quickly recognized that I’m familiar with routers and computers, and went the extra mile by thoroughly testing my internet connection. He provided clear instructions for running trace routes, asked me to share screenshots of the results, and performed additional checks to ensure the issue was properly addressed.

Best customer service. Easiest online process to order fibre and other products (and manage them). Even if there are cheaper options I stick with Afrihost because I know I will have peace of mind

Not using Afrihost services as yet, but definitely signing up as soon as my cancelation with the weather related provider kicks in. Their service with regards to all my queries was of a very professional nature. Definitely signing up! As should the rest of South Africa.

I visited their Rivonia shop and was extremely impressed with the service. I was warmly welcomed, offered a drink, and assisted with great professionalism. They even went the extra mile by providing a cable to charge my phone when it was running low truly excellent customer service. Very clean environment!

Afrihost has supposed my expectations as a service provider. It's help desk offer seamless solutions with their consultants understanding exactly what one needs and solving beyond the issue.

I can easily get my fibre for a few hundred Rands less than I am paying Afrihost. But they truly are worth the extra spend. I have never had any issues reporting a fault be it ISP or provider related. When there is a provider issue (9 times out of 10) Afrihost goes the extra mile and sorts that out too. I know of other ISPs who will tell you it's a provider issue and that's the end of their involvement. Afrihost goes the extra mile always

Just a quick note to say that I have been with Afrihost for a few years now. On the odd occasion when I have needed help with my wifi I have received excellent service. The consultants are polite and friendly and the technicians have been so patient and understanding. Keep up the great service Afrihost.

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.

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.
