I know people complain about afrihost but I honestly don't see why. The two or three times my Wifi has been down in the 9 months I've been with them they've always resolved the issue quickly and courteously

It was a pleasure to be assisted by Gildo from Afrihost this morning over Whatsapp. He was very knowledgeable and patient and his messages were very courteous. Well done Afrihost for hiring the right people for the job!

I've been with Afrihost for approx 6 years, and have never been dissatisfied. Even today, I'm relocating and Kenneth Z was tops in assisting me.

(Translated by Google) Afrihost is the only service provider that provides professional friendly service at all times. At all times. Their staff is very well trained. Friendly at all times regardless of the frustration of their clients. (Original) Afrihost is die enigste diensverskaffer wat te alle tye professioneke vriendelik diens lewer. Te alle tye.

They provide mobile data and Fixed LTE data at affordable prices. The beauty is that their service can be configured on an app. There is no fixed contract and the app ensures that you can amend, top-up, upgrade or cancel any contract. Their service is very good and any deviation can be reported through the app. I can recommend them!

I had a problem where my phone number had somehow got mixed up with another account. I therefore kept getting messages on my phone about someone else's account. I contacted Afrihost via WhatsApp and Jackson sorted out the problem in no time at all. Great service.

Super efficient service from Thulanie at afrihost. I find the WhatsApp chat services really excellent as you are instantly helped and not left hanging on a line endlessly. All has been logged with necessary providers etc. Painless for me which was great.

I had a brief encounter with them, but they were so helpful, would highly recommend them, even if it is just for their fantastic client service!

Afrihost is the best Internet provider in SA. They constantly upgrade my line at no additional cost, the network is always stable, and I just received a free SIM card to test with 10G data and R100 worth of airtime. They understand the meaning of getting down to business and always being available when you need them most.

Great backup and sales services. Great speeds. Easy to navigate website. (Use Ctrl + scroll to navigate application form.) I'm on LTE and I'm getting on average 50mbps but it does go to 90mbps sometimes. I'm in JHB south where there is no ADSL or fiber available. Hope you install it first. I do recommend 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!

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
