Best service in the country in any industry from any company. I don't remember ever complaining or feeling undervalued as a customer. Keep it up Afrihost!

Afrihost is my choice for hosting as their service was the best. Will be moving all my business to them once other contracts finished with current suppliers.

I have been with Afrihost for many years, and it's been amazing! Network problems are almost nonexistent. I've probably had one issue for about 5 minutes in the last three years. My only complaint is that they offer nice promotions/specials to potentially new customers, but kind of neglect their existing customers with promotions/specials.

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 absolutely love the WhatsApp support line. Sometimes takes a while to connect to an operator, but certainly beats holding on the line listening to bad music, or an operator dropping your call after holding forever!

Excellent and professional customer service. They offer very competitive data packages from different service providers. They don't have this long nonsense binding contracts, which is very good. When u log a call, they return them.

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.
