I've been with several ISPs over the years, and Afrihost beats most (if not all) other ISPs in South Africa. I can't recall ever having a bad experience with Afrihost, so keep it up guys!

Afrihost service is one of the best,I like the fact that they even work on weekends and you dnt have to wait long on call queues you just ask them to call you back by clicking only ones and instantly you get a call back. The staffs are so friendly and have deep knowledge about all their products.

They are responsive whenever assistance is needed, and matters are handled as quickly as possible. The availability of alternative communication options has made it easier for different people to reach out.

Just a quick note to say that I have been with Afrihost for a few years now. On the odd occasion when I have needed help with my wifi I have received excellent service. The consultants are polite and friendly and the technicians have been so patient and understanding. Keep up the great service Afrihost.

Everything I have had to do through Afrihost has been fantastic. I needed support early hours of the morning, and it was sorted out in a few minutes. The staff member who helped me was incredibly friendly. The setup process of what I wanted to do was easy and seamless. Never thought I would ever give an ISP 5 stars, but Afrihost deserves 6. Their hosting services are pretty fantastic in my opinion.

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.
