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!!

We very seldom have any trouble at all with our internet feed, but when we do, Afihost's extremely efficient, easy to reach service centre offers the solution at the blink of an eye. I found Afrihost's whatsapp service incredibly helpful. Anyone looking for a fast reliable internet service provider, I recommend Afrihost.

I’ve been with afrihost for 15 years and prior to that, webafrica, one and the same. I’ve had pleasant experiences with support calls and always a willingness to help from all the team. And no, I don’t work or know anyone personally, so this is all my genuine experience. Keep being awesome guys and I’ll keep recommending you as a provider, if not the best.

I dealt with Tumelo T on netflix's infamous error code nw-2-5. Honestly the best experience with a technical agent. Tumelo was thorough and considerate throughout, ensuring all changes reflected and updated. Sure, it felt like going through the wringer of a compsci paper mess but damn if it wasn't Handled. We should all be blessed to deal with Tumelo T when we're out of out depth. Thanks Tumelo and Afrihost!

They had a nationwide issue that was resolved, but I still could not connect. Contacted them via WhatsApp and 5 minutes later the issue was resolved. Great service, no wasted time, just a quick resolution.

From initial contact to line query the response has been amazingly quick, a very stark contrast from my last providers. After sales is what every organisation should aspire to

I’ve been with Afrihost for over 15 years, both for my business and personal needs. Their services are easy to use, and their client support is exceptionally quick and helpful. I’ve never encountered any issues with them or their service. Whether it’s setting up new connections or resolving queries, Afrihost has consistently delivered. Their reliable infrastructure and excellent security make them a top choice for South African web hosting and ISP. I highly recommend 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.
