Best service ever from Mduduzi M at Afrihost through Whatsapp support. We got to a solution with his guidance to a non-IT person who was also born before Technology (BBT) without any frustrations. He’s the best👌🏾👌🏾👊🏽

Afrihost is outstanding. Their service is exceptional! I received my product delivered the very next day, pre-programmed, and they’re already setting up my account for installation. This is by far the best service I’ve ever experienced from an internet service provider!

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
