This is the best, yet cheapest IT company. I am a student and I have my own startup company. I am using Afrihost for my web hosting to their free site builder. Everything is working perfectly. So affordable, no unnecessary contracts and hassle whatsoever. This month I'm about to add their Pure fixed LTE data + device and update my web hosting. Well done guys!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Keep it up!

Absolutely love and would recommend to anyone. I've been using Afrihost for 1 years, never a moment of regret. Currently using them for Wireless LTE, 4 phone SIM cards, and fiber internet. The customer service is second to none! Best in SA!

I recently moved from Cape Town to George. Without good internet I'm screwed. After 2 internet disasters with 2 of South Africa's leading ISP's, mainly due to incompetence and lies from staff regarding what their company offers plus another with a satellite company, my sister finally recommended Afrihost. I will be honest, I had no hope that they could help me. I am on a LTE package with Afrihost. The speed is incredible; literally fibre speed in a SIM connection - greatly doing what other companies either promised or said was not possible. Today I was assisted by Prince via their convenient WhatsApp chat line - same as his colleagues, he was quick, efficient and kind, Adrian Nelson

Afrihost is simply the best. Do not even think about Mweb they are nonsense. Afrihost is very timely in their response sometimes even on weekends. Their app is efficient as well. Top ups are fast and easy to do. Very good company to trust.

For my business services I tried a few ISP services, but I prefer Afrihost for their professional service above the rest. Consistently high quality service, support and products.

The best internet experience ever, especially now where almost everyone requires some form of internet to work from home and/or support the kids to do school work. I started with LTE and now moved to fibre. I'm happy with Afrihost.

As a potential new client exploring options with Afrihost the information I got from the website was clear and the process to set up an account easy. I used Whatsapp to ask a question about the timing of the migration and I got a prompt and helpful response.

I like Afrihost and Iv been with a few providers. Good price for what you get. The WhatsApp team is usually very good at replying and fixing any issues that may happen.

Easily the best ISP out there. Quick and prompt responses, you can pick up the phone during working hours and get assistance immediately. App and website works efficiently and human to human interaction communication over what’s up makes it a 6 out of 5 rating 👌🏾

Awesome team! Well-versed and extremely efficient! Always taking the client's time into consideration is a remarkable trait not commonly seen.

I've been considering moving over to fibre, and naturally I tried various ISPs of which I encountered a technical issue and received no favorable help, told that it just means that I don't have coverage and it was just left at that. No resolve. I tried Afrihost eventually, encountered the same technical issue and instead of sending me away or killing my spirit - 2 agents helped me. The first Agent (Reabetswe M) logged the ticket of my issue to relevant departments. The second Agent (Hopewell M) tracked my case and gave me an update instantly. She rectified misunderstandings and had my order processed immediately. I am beyond grateful for their contributions to my resolve. Sincerely, A very happy Afrihost customer 😊

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.
