Using them as my ISP for a long time now and have had zero issues with both AfriHost as my ISP and VumaTel as my line management team. Queries are easy to get assistance with via WhatsApp and all the consultants seem to be helpful, understanding and skilled to resolve them. I will highly recommend them.

Chatted with Bonolo of Afrihost on WhatsApp regarding a problem with a Huawei router. He was professional, courteous, patient and efficient. Only a pleasure.

I have been using afrihost for about 10yrs now. In this 10yrs I have not had any issues, I love using afrihost as our service provider. Also, if I have any questions or queries, their staff are amazing. I really cannot complain and hopefully I will never have to.

In over 3 years the experience has been seamless and the service levels always exceed my expectations. Great job with sensitive and kind individuals!

My complaints were literally from a little less familiarity with how things worked. So, in my confusion I may have felt an exaggerated level of disappointment. But it takes cool, calm, respectful...very respectful and above all, professional people to address a confused and angry individual, and leave them smiling! Great impact Afrihost team. Every agent I have interacted with has been a tard too much respectful it got a little irritating and embarrassing, actually!

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!

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.
