Everything I have had to do through Afrihost has been fantastic. I needed support early hours of the morning, and it was sorted out in a few minutes. The staff member who helped me was incredibly friendly. The setup process of what I wanted to do was easy and seamless. Never thought I would ever give an ISP 5 stars, but Afrihost deserves 6. Their hosting services are pretty fantastic in my opinion.

As a client I was truly satisfied and really happy with Afrihost unfortunately I can no longer make use of their services which is quite sad in itself. I can recommend Afrihost any day as the company is a really good and really reliable services provider. Their staff are always friendly and helpful and quick to assist and resolve any issues. Thank you for the many good years Afrihost and blessings for future endeavors to you.

I have been a customer with Afrihost for almost 7 years and can highly recommend their services. They have always been very helpful and very prompt to handle my queries. Their prices on my fibre line is very reasonable and I can honestly say that I do not have issues with my internet connection since I have started to use them. In my opinion, best service in this field. Keep up the good work! Thank you for your great service. May God Bless You!

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!

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.
