I have been with Afrihost for over 5 years. It's been a great experience.I have in the past, and will definitely in the future, continue to recommend them.

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)

Getting better every day. I have been with Afrihost for over 12 Years. The support or help service seems to be more focused toward beginners and new clients and there are a few too many processes to have to navigate through before you can get to experienced support staff (from a Reseller or experienced user Perspective) but as I say, getting better every day.

Absolutely love and would recommend to anyone. I've been using Afrihost for 1 years, never a moment of regret. Currently using them for Wireless LTE, 4 phone SIM cards, and fiber internet. The customer service is second to none! Best in SA!

I have to be completely honest, their user interface, their customer service and their staff are all excellent. I would suggest Afrihost to everyone if they keep this up. I've never gotten such amazing customer service from ANYONE else in South Africa, and as South Africans we know what's service like in this country🤣well done Afrihost

Afrihost is hands down the best Internet Service Provider I have ever used, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable ISP with outstanding customer support. Their team is knowledgeable, professional, responsive and genuinely committed to helping customers. Having access to support 24/7 is a massive advantage and gives me complete peace of mind. Every interaction has reinforced my confidence in Afrihost. They consistently go above and beyond expectations, and I would confidently recommend them to friends, family and businesses without hesitation. Truly exceptional service! My last interaction with Evan gave me exactly what i need and i can make informed decisions for my business hosting requirements and expansion. Well Done Evan!!!

Hands down the best ISP. They're always friendly, always on the ball, and the value for money is top notch. Never had a single issue with them, and their support team is fantastic in the rare occurrence where there's been an outage. Cannot recommend them enough!

Just signed up with Afrihost. So far service was excellent, helpful, well explained and easy to speak to an agent. Will be activated at the end of May, so will update then 😉 😊

The Afrihost service itself is the best. I'd prefer they use their own infrastructure rather than Vuma. Overall, my experience has been great, except when infrastructure issues came up, and Afrihost couldn't help. Speed is great, and 2 years later, I am still a happy customer

Been with afrihost for a few years now. Products are easy to sign up for and they respond quickly when you reach out for help. I've had their mobile data, DSL and fibre packages and I have been satisfied with each product purchased.

Afrihost always impress with their prompt responses and knowledgeable staff. They are always friendly, listen to the request and ask questions before offering a solution. Their whatsapp chat is very convenient! Have been a happy client for nearly a decade!

The best ISP service provider. Even though you pay a little more, the service and resolve is the most efficient. I guess you get what you pay for!

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.

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
