Afri host was unable to install in my house and I cancelled the order, but you are debiting my bank account for service that I'm not getting. I'm not even your client 😭.

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.

Afrihost one technical issue with the router not authenticating and one general inquiry, dealt with efficiently and quickly and that is why I use them as my preferred provider. Problem solved in a few minutes and no lengthy delay on the phone as the call was answered within a few rings.

Afrihost is one of the few exceptional service providers in SA. I live in a very rural area with limited access to high speed comms. Afrihost's LTE sorted this problem. Delivery was speedy, troubleshooting is a joy as it can be done via WhatsApp. I would highly recommend Afrihost as preferred service provider.

From initial contact to line query the response has been amazingly quick, a very stark contrast from my last providers. After sales is what every organisation should aspire to

Orapeleng and his team installed our fibre in one day… a single day. Trenches dug, router set up and all of that in a day’s work. Afrihost has a solid supply chain, I cannot be more grateful. “Peak traffic in the taxi lane”

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!

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.
