Just a quick note to say that I have been with Afrihost for a few years now. On the odd occasion when I have needed help with my wifi I have received excellent service. The consultants are polite and friendly and the technicians have been so patient and understanding. Keep up the great service Afrihost.

Easily some of the best customer-experience in SA. Now using them for my 5/6th time for an internet or mobile product -- fast responses, (normally) easy info/instructions etc.

Best ISP by far. My mom recommended it to me because of how quickly they were able to set up her fibre line. I always recommend it to anyone who asks for ISP suggestions

I'm loving the network coverage already and the fact that their products takes a bit longer to expire. The technical support is even excellent. I recommend it to everyone.

I used Whatsapp comms to request to move my ONT and fibre line. Received excellent service, and assistance was so efficient. Everything was arranged and sorted with a technician coming out to sort the problem less than 24 hours later.

Afrihost activation was quick. The consultant Vuyo assisted effortlessly with the router set up. Excited to be up and running so quickly. Thanks afrihost.

In the first two weeks I really had a lot of trouble getting our service up. But Afrihost did come through. The service has been stable for months now, and we received a double up on speed at no extra cost during lockdown. Even though our line speed is back to the original, their service has been great since our initial experience and therefore I have decided to change my review to five stars for Afrihost. Keep up this great service Afrihost!

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.
