Twice Afrihost in conjunction with the fibre line provider have quickly responded and resolved issues with the physical line. The last resolution was done on the same day the issue was reported.

After a week of dealing with arrogant Supersonic agents I called Afrihost. Wow wow wow wow I was so impressed with the service I received from start to finish. I dealt with 3 agents and they were all very helpful and friendly. They took the time to listen and then explained everything to me without getting irritated or impatient. The last agent I spoke to was Kamo and again best service - he went to extra mile to assist me. Wow I honestly cant believe that there is still a company with world class friendly amazing customer service WELL DONE AFRIHOST!!!

Geraldo J is a very skilled and professional assistant. I always use the WhatsApp chat to get my issues sorted but till this date no one has provided such amazing and skillful assistance thus far. It's quite impressive actually...I'm a Tech guy myself so seeing someone go above and beyond their scope of work is important for the brand. This is why we shall retain our domains with Afrihost. 🙏🙏🙏 Enkosi

So I just got off WhatsApp with an Agent called Linda and we were online for almostc2 hours. Linda has a high levels of patience a trait really required for the kind of job and services being offered at Afrihost. Linda is a typical depiction of Afrihosts symbol of value. The efficiency, the knowledge and understanding of his job description is beyond spectacular. Thank you Afrihost for investing in your people.

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.
