Been on afrihost for about 8 months now, nowhere near as many issues as I had in my previous home with another provider... their WhatsApp troubleshooting system is also great!

We recently switched to Afrihost and the task of transferring emails was an absolute smooth one! To the Support staff, and I would like to single out Pitsetsi - what a treasure you have in this person. Speaking as a "technically challenged" individual I was able to sort out my Director, Andrew Lamour's email and with your assistance I looked like employee of the year! Pitsetsi, you made both of us look good to someone that values perfection as the only standard by which he measures. I trust Afrihost realizes the value they have in you and appreciates the tenacity that you applied in getting the Apple Mac settings correct and sorted( not an easy thing to do at all) A big hearty THANK YOU from The Umtshayelo Foundation

I cannot recommend Afrihost enough. I have been a client for going on 8 years now and I have received only excellent service from them. From the smallest query to the more technical ones, the support team is friendly and fast to respond. They are also exceptionally knowledgeable and always happy to help. Super grateful for Afrihost :)

I have been a customer of Afrihost for awhile now. The accessibility of my services and their customer centricity is awesome. The network connectivity is functional and does what it is put up for. I do connect easily with my devices at home from the comfort of my office. That's seamless

I’m very happy with Afrihost’s service. I really appreciate how they personalise the Wi-Fi setup details, rather than just relying on the default router information. Their team responds promptly to customers and ensures that any issues are fully resolved before closing tickets. Great service all around!

Afrihost is really the best ISP that I've ever had, never an issue always willing to help. What other ISP will call you at 9 at night to help with router setup!?

The advertised line speeds are a representation of the maximum possible throughput on that package. This speed is dependent on and varies from exchange to exchange as regulated by Openserve. In certain areas, some speeds are not achievable.
Due to Openserve infrastructure restrictions, some line speeds may not be available in your area. Check coverage in your area to see which packages are available in your area.

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
