Had a great experience today with Thabisile, an Afrihost consultant, who helped me troubleshoot the speed issues on my home network. Throughout the interaction they stayed calm and professional. My issue was sorted and I am flying high again! If only all service interaction with other service providers were as smooth as with Afrihost... Thanks guys (and gals)! Great service!

I have been with Afrihost on and off for many years. My website has been hosted by them since 2010. I have left them as my internet provider once or twice but always go back. I am now back for good! They ARE the BEST!!

Ordered a Fixed Lte on Sunday 1 Dec, the order was ready to be picked up on Monday 2 Dec, I walked into the Afrihost center, registered my name and cellphone number, waited for 10 min in the Que. While I waited, I was offered either coffee or water. The service is excellent

I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Onndwela M from Afrihost, and I must say the service was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, Onndwela handled my query with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Every step was explained clearly, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the interaction. It’s rare to come across someone who combines efficiency with such a personable approach, but Onndwela did exactly that. I would confidently rate the service a 10 out of 10. Afrihost should be proud to have such a dedicated team member representing them. Thank you, Onndwela, for turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience.

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.

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.
