Excellent service from Afrihost, my 3 days frustration was removed within hours and from now on I will never look somewhere else. I was offered a perfect solution for my challenges and all Afrihost cared about was my satisfaction.

Moving house at the age of 80 can be quite a challenge! Disrupted comms when the move is protracted can make the experience worse! A good service provider is essential.

Although it took almost 2 days to solve my connection problems, after getting a new router, my DSL line was active and working last night. Thank you for all the assistance Afrihost.

If you're tired of being tired, by these large cellphone companies, in 'South Africa', why don't you give, 'Afrihost' a try. Have come to an end of a two year contract, with one of the largest cellphone companies in 'South Africa'. Now, looking for a month to month deal. 'Afrihost', depending on your particular area and thus, cell / signal coverage, offers fantastic products and service. Their pricings are competitive, they utilise well versed and skilled, sales and back office personal. And every time that I need to communicate with one of their professionals, I'm always reassured and leave with total peace of mind. Well done. Keep it up. Thank you.

All I can say is WOW WOW WOW. I've been with Afrihost for 4 years and I haven't had an outage from them. Even Openserve has been great as their fibre provider. Keep it up.

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!

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.
