I can honestly say that Afrihost is excellent when it comes to helping their customers. When they are available and online, you can be guaranteed you will get great service.

As usual Afrihost always comes through with solutions, not excuses and they are quick to respond when called upon. That in itself is sorely lacking in my experience with other similar service providers, Thanks Guys

December started with a sour experience with Web Africa where it took 9 days for them to tell me that I would only have internet around Christmas at my new unit. I was desperate to get my family connected and with a few clicks, and not even a day later, Afrihost had my pure wireless bundle ready for use. My daughter send her thanks, now that she can catch up with her toons during school holidays 🙏

Been with these guys since about 2013 and I have never looked back. Just dealt with a dude on a Sunday who was available and assisted me to the best of his ability.

One of the best, if not THE best, ISPs in South Africa. After MWeb's horrible service and customer support, Afrihost is a breath of fresh air.

Besides network speed that sometimes are less of what I have paid for ( it gets resolved within 24hours , its the BEST service I have an experience with, with regards to fiber. Client support is really a 10 out of 10 .

They aren't the nimble startup they use to be, but i've been a client for 10 years and I can honestly say they have the most consistent good service of all the ISPs, they have competitive prices but most importantly focus on good service delivery which is refreshing to find. Thanks Afrihost

Hardly have any negative experience with their customer service and my WiFi and internet connection have been stable throughout my subscription, apart from one or two days out of the 3 years where WiFi or Internet connection was problematic either due to external sources or problems with my router. All in all, great service and happy with my product.

I have had such a dream of an experience setting up my company domain and email. Was assisted on Whatsapp by Siphiwe who was very professional and patient with me. True asset to any company and team.

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.
