Maybe the best service provider in South Africa possibly the world. Any issues that I've faced have been resolved in a timely manner even as far as during early mornings (2am). They are always friendly and put you first. They offer total control over your account and subscription allowing you to upgrade and downgrade as your wallet allows. I recommend them to anyone that is in need of fast internet and service.

I'm really happy with the service I get from Afrihost. Have been using them for about 8 years now and would recommend them to anyone. I specifically like how user-friendly their platform is and also how there's always someone to assist when I'm stuck

There are not enough words that will describe the unbelievable service received from Mr Gian Visser, Kgothatso Lechuti and a gentleman whose name I unfortunately do not know. These 3 gentlemen went far and beyond for me and I am absolutely humbled by their kindness. Thank you to all.

Afrihost is one of my favorite companies to deal with.... Great prices. Fantastic fast customer service. Whether via whatsapp or on the phone you never have to wait too long while holding for an operator. I am yet to encounter an unfriendly or unhelpful customer support agent.... Best company with competent and friendly employees

Exceptional help provided every time I have a problem with my website. The problem is solved super quickly. I would have given up a long time ago, trying to do my website myself, if it were not for Afrihost's help via Whatsapp.

Had a problem accessing the internet using my mobile data. Sanele refreshed my Sim and told me to put my phone on flight mode then to turn my phone off for 5 minutes. Once back on I turned on mobile data and it worked perfectly. I had been struggling for 2 days prior within 10 minutes on WhatsApp via wifi I was back up & sorted. Awesome

My first hiccup with afrihost, due to a system error but the service and customer service is still amazing! Much better than my previous service provider, who shall not be named, yet is well known for terrible customer service ...

Hands down the best service I have ever received! From the moment I placed my order until the configuration and everything was done, both Mkululi and Pitsetsi were super professional and helpful. I am very satisfied with the service I received and will highly recommend Afrihost to anyone.

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.
