I've had the pleasure of AFRIHOST services for many years now and can only sing their praises most highly. I find that my retiree age group are not familiar with Afrihost as you are not visible in the Malls etc so have not had much success in converting them from the regular Cell shops.

Very solution focused and patient with me as a customer. I was assisted through their patience and willingness to help me, I was thinking of giving up on my problem because I am technologically challenged; but their patience and willingness to help was the best!!

Been with Adrihost for many many years and have had zero issues. Very well priced and efficient with thier packages. The airmobile service makes all the normal phone providers internet extremely expensive since you get so much more for so much less with afrihost.

I migrated to Afrihost from another major ISP. I have only experienced excellent service thus far, dedicated support staff that walks the extra mile. Sisanda literally ran around to get my order sorted out and my router couriered to me. All the support staff that I dealt with on the WhatsApp Support line was as helpful and committed. The best move I have made.

I was just assisted by a Consultant Lesley M, and he was the most helpful person and turned my negative experience into a positive end result. I was really happy with my service. Best service provider by far.

This was one of the best experiences I've had. Scelo was extremely helpful, where others had failed and escalated the issue to other departments. Scelo was able to troubleshoot and resolve my query. I am very grateful. Scelo deserves a raise and a promotion. The only problem is that we might miss their expertise.

I recently signed up with Afrihost, and I mostly used WhatsApp to communicate. All those who responded, did so promptly and helped me every step of the way. They were friendly and helpful. I would gladly recommend anyone who would like Afrihost to be there hosting provider. Fast and efficient. My independent input as a new client.

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.
