We recently switched to Afrihost and the task of transferring emails was an absolute smooth one! To the Support staff, and I would like to single out Pitsetsi - what a treasure you have in this person. Speaking as a "technically challenged" individual I was able to sort out my Director, Andrew Lamour's email and with your assistance I looked like employee of the year! Pitsetsi, you made both of us look good to someone that values perfection as the only standard by which he measures. I trust Afrihost realizes the value they have in you and appreciates the tenacity that you applied in getting the Apple Mac settings correct and sorted( not an easy thing to do at all) A big hearty THANK YOU from The Umtshayelo Foundation

I strongly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for best service and quick response regarding internet connection. Thumbs up to Thabo M who assisted me perfectly.

There support is effortless, I stopped offering hosting service and would send customers to them, while I focused on the website and email accounts.

After years of trying various ISPs: Mweb, Rain, Cool Ideas, VOX and I can go on. Afrihost is where the benchmark is set as a fibre or LTE service provider. I commend you guys, and please keep up with the good work and exceptional service delivery. Love dealing with you, and I could not fault you anything of I tried.

Very reliable ISP, used them for years. Recently had to relocate line, and Xolani S. had me up and running in less than 30min at the new location, called me back to check it was working, etc... all round excellent service. You deserve a raise Xolani!

Afrihost is so efficient. Especially when I comes to getting assistance from their technicians. I am not Tech savy but it's just easy with them.

I've been with Afrihost for 3 years now, and I have had the most amazing experience with them. I have had to relocate my fibre three times and they are so helpful.

Man, the staff are just overall great people. I know everybody has their bad days but I wouldn't wanna make it hard for someone to assist me. I think respect us a 2 way street, if they respect me, I'll return the kind gesture. Thanks Afrihost.🙏🏼

Fair pricing. Strong signal. (Depending on your placement outside of certain metropole areas). Decent after-service, whether via WhatsApp or live call. Awesome over the holiday period.

I have been a client of Afrihost since 2000 and I am amazed at how they have scaled up their service and offering. I host about 40 sites with them and also have a couple of managed cloud servers. Apart from their default voice message saying "We have had an influx of calls and can't take your call as soon as we'd like" that has been on for 3 years, there is NOTHING I don't like about Afrihost. (Support, Finance, Admin, Connectivity, Walk-in included)

Thank you Afrihost for always being available to assist with any query and also handling it with patience. You are honestly the best service provider I have worked with. I will recommend you to anyone just because of 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.
