Been using Afrihost for close to two years now and still super happy. Their consultants are hands on and provide assistance in a professional and timely manner. Haven’t really had any connection issues ever since. Would definitely recommend them.

It was easy for me to be recconected, after i stopped using fibre internet for a longtime. They made it easier for me to understand which steps must i follow to be recconected again. Thanks Afrihost and your team.

Overall, a great support experience. While there was a slight wait to get connected, once I was through, the support was outstanding, helpful, efficient, and truly appreciated.

I have been with afrihost for more than 3-years now. Today I received the best service. Today I interacted with Khanyisile M regarding an issue that has been longstanding. I have had numerous interactions with other support personnel( yes I got assisted, they always offer good service) but today I got the service I didn’t even know I needed. The greatest in my humble opinion. Khanyisile M displayed professionalism with good expert knowledge, skills and communication skills. The troubleshooting took time but was worth it, Khanyisile was there every step of the way. I even had to update the device software and Khanyisile was still keeping the whatsapp chat session active, talk about relentless. We got a whiff of that the issue could be and the matter was escalated to a senior then to another company. I was then provided with advice on the way forward along with the reference number (for the call logged with the other company). Khanyisile M is a star! 😊☺️If only Khanyisile M could get a promotion! Or at least handle training of the support personnel! All companies need a Khanyisile M! I am pleased with Afrihost, they have good coverage with exceptional areas(deep deep rural areas), hopefully they’ll expand.

No complaints at all. Since I joined Afrihost in 2017, and now queried a service, they are still the same user friendly connect tools and super happy with the service received so far.

Had to edit my last rating. Had a terrible time with Afrihost support last year but this year was a breeze. Support team was on point and followed up on issues quickly!

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.
