A truly one stop positive experience from ease of usability on the website down to the fast and efficient whatsapp interaction with their service agent. An uplifting experience in these times of shoddy customer service experiences. Well done Afrihost for the positive and uplifting experience!

Very helpful, I was helped by a very patient lady by the name Zanele...I was new on platform with zero knowledge of how it works, but her patience made it easier for me to navigate the system

Afrihost - Webhosting. Pricing and Quality of service is on point - second to none. Every single time I email support for assistance im constantly blown away at the speed of the reply and the tech knowledge - politeness and care. Last support ticket your engineers even took the initiative to deduce what I was trying to do never mind only fixing the error i created on the platform backend. They took initiative to give me the answer to what I was working on - and to advise that they are available to support me fixing it if I so wanted. WOOOOW!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK - YOUR SERVICE LEVEL IS WORLD CLASS (and this is coming from someone with +20Yrs IT Management experience in Europe)

I had a wonderful experience today when I made use of the WhatsApp function to help me with our business account. We thank Kaitlyn who understood the problem I was having without me even knowing what it was. She assisted and had given me step by step instructions to rectify the reason for the problem. Not once did I feel stupid as she translated into better terminology explaining what I needed to know and I thank her for it. Initially the thought of how we were going to fix the issue was daunting as it was a back and forth between myself and the web developers until I bit the bullet and asked Afrihost to help. I wish I had just done it sooner instead of wasting time. May you all have a lovely day.

I have been with afrihost for a year and we just moved into a new place again using their services soo quick and easy to set everything up again! Best fibre provider we have ever had 10/10 every time.

I've used Afrihost since I first managed to get ADSL in our area years back, and then upgraded when fibre became available. Throughout that time, upgrading / downgrading / topping up / support / queries / fault reporting / new services , have all been super easy and painless. You don't feel like a helpless pleb in a big machine, but rather in control of your choices. Thank you Gian ( a marketing genius if ever I saw one)

I have been a customer with Afrihost for almost 7 years and can highly recommend their services. They have always been very helpful and very prompt to handle my queries. Their prices on my fibre line is very reasonable and I can honestly say that I do not have issues with my internet connection since I have started to use them. In my opinion, best service in this field. Keep up the good work! Thank you for your great service. May God Bless You!

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.
