Afrihost customer service is amazing. Such a pleasant experience to transfer my line toe my new address and the whats app support option was easy to get the service activated again. Afrihost is the ISP you want.

Always excellent prices and services. Even the Big Boss sends and replies via email when he sends out new bargains and offers, savings. The support desk also always spot on and fast. Respect.

Their WhatsApp customer service is fast and efficient. Their tech guys are super helpful and patient, asking for clarity when they're not clear on your issue. That's a definite win for me.

Hardly ever have issues with Afrihost, on the one time I did, the process to log the fault was easy because of the option for watsup assistance. The issue took longer than I anticipated to resolve but it was because the technician assisting me was very patient and wouldn't give up until the issue was resolved, and it was indeed resolved by the end of the chat

INCREDIBLE SERVICE! For the first time since our installation our fibre line went off. So on a Sunday morning I tried out the Whatsapp Service and spoke to Thulanie. He was very helpful but I wasn't expecting a solution at least for a few days... 3 hours didn't pass when Thabang (the technician) phoned me and said he was at my gate. He was kind and most helpful. I'm beyond grateful that our line was fixed at such a speedy pace and with such a great attitude from both Thulanie and Thabang. This gives me so much hope for our country!

I’m sorry to name drop but dealing with Telkom for the last 5 years was the worst experience! Switching to AfriHost for Wi-Fi in a remote small town was the best choice. I can’t thank these guys enough for the quick and easy service. You don’t have to beg and plead to get things done. THANK YOU!!!

If you want the best ISP and customer service, look no further. I do all my internet services through Afrihost from Fibre, Mobile and Hosting. Never experienced any issues, and their support staff is excellent.

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.
