So far my experience has aligned with all my expectations of the research I did for the best ISP to meet my requirements as an online tutor with Cambly who are strict with their tech check before being able to gain access to the classroom. The true test will be in the eating of the pudding.

There is no better ISP than that of Afrihost. Down to earth, logical, on the edge of cutting tech and innovations make them a blessing to deal with.

I’ve only had good service from Afrihost since I bought my Fixed Wireless package in Jan. Definitely would recommend their products and services to others.

In a time when you as a customer are not made to feel that your input or time is important, it is rare to find a business who responds so promptly and goes the extra mile to help. Thankyou Afrihost. I shall definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

Can't believe the service: On a Sunday afternoon 3 people (Mpho, Wilfred, Gopika & Themba) helped me reinstate & transfer an urgent domain (entire brand depending on it) - using 3 different channels (ticket, whatsapp help & email - all 3 channels worked well). Huge thanks to Afrihost for fast & reliable service when it mattered. Very impressed, thank you!

My experience was electric in saying so, I mean - my query, problem solved with no hiccups, don't swiftly. The agent definitely knows his work. Rethabile 10 out of 10 from me.

The service provided by Afrihost is certainly such a breath of fresh air! Alot of companies can take a page out of their book. From ordering a replacement router online to their whatsapp contact centre! Honestly don't think there are any ISPs that come close!

Even if I’m not happy with Afrihost sometimes - more lately than ever, I have to give Vallencia a 5🌟 - taking my frustration out on her and she keeps Afrihost’ name up in lights. Can learn a lot from her 😏

What a pleasure dealing with afrihost today via what's app with Leanard M, helped me understand the issue, knew what he was talking about, now we know our next step thanks to him.

Have had great service level and technical assistance, down to isolating a Fibre fault between the road to my house, and they arranged all the admin for me. Highly recommend

Very fast and efficient service with a virtual smile. My speed was an issue and I was not asked the standard questions, Mduduzi M just hopped in and started problem solving. I was even given a quick way to fix the issue in my side as well which is great and very rare that advisors don’t “gate-keep information” Would always recommend your company based on your service

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.
