Their agents are always professional and always willing to help. They are very knowledgeable and passionate!! I always leave their chat with being assisted. Well done!! I have a personal account with them and a business account with them and they are just amazing, which is an understatement! They even went at for as getting my 2 months worth of coding code back which I thought I lost, (my own fault, I deleted it by accident) hassle free. Now that I call exceptional customer service!

Super amazing. Been with the service now for 5 years - starting with just email domain, then website hosting, now added wifi to the packages. Always available to assist (when it's not after hours), super friendly and efficient. Would totally recommend to other consumers looking for reliable and tech-savvy providers.

I have used many networks for my wifi but after an engemennt with Afrihost. This is way to go, especially their customer services and agents very quick to answer and help with queries. I'm happy.

Always a WhatsApp away and always determined to help me! I am certainly not tech savvy but Afrihost ALWAYS gets to the bottom of my VERY FEW issues. Usually my own fumble with cables 😂

I visited their Rivonia shop and was extremely impressed with the service. I was warmly welcomed, offered a drink, and assisted with great professionalism. They even went the extra mile by providing a cable to charge my phone when it was running low truly excellent customer service. Very clean environment!

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
