We are moving, and need a new internet service provider. Shopping around, I tried Afrihost. And what a great experience I had with their WhatsApp chats help! A real person answers immediately, never gives up and guided me through all my questions. I am impressed and very grateful! I had more than one helper, but would like a special mention to Keshia G, who even offered to get my account verified from her side, which she did. I am now sorted, and a very happy client. Looking forward to continued great service! Marinda Steenkamp

Afrihost has been amazing throughout the years, been using them for web hosting since 2016 and not a day has gone by where I wasn't satisfied, easy to use clientzone to apply and change products, also the website builder is very easy to use.

Now this is 21st Century ISP! I am get pure Fibre, no shaping, no throttling, 30Mbps/30Mbps at R799, a super fast 3Gbps Wifi router for free and the application was all online within 5 minutes. No calls, no nonsense. Then for support they have an absolutely functioning whatsapp chat line with quality staff. I can say nothing bad about these guys.

The Afrihost hosting team helped me restore a website backup after 10pm on a Friday night, well outside of their working hours. This is above and beyond the call of duty and I'm very happy with their support, whether via email, whatsapp or phone. Thanks guys, you're always there to help!

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.
