We have been with Afrrihost since the start of ADSL. Afrihost is the most cost effective of all the ISPs. They have upgraded the speed of the line on a few occasions at no extra cost. They evev upgraded our fibre from capped to uncapped at no extra cost. They relocated our fibre in a very short time. Support staff usually answer queries very quickly and are friendly and helpful. The owner of Afrihost Giaan, often contacts us personally about free upgrades and promotions. Afrihost is a very personalised ISP. Comparing our fibre speed it is cheaper than other ISPs.

I am a long-time Afrihost client and besides for a wobble in their call center back in 2018 I think, they’ve been wonderful. “Customer-centric” Highly recommended.

I chatted on WhatsApp with a gent called Ethan. He was brilliant, patient and understood exactly what I needed. My sister trusted them, and I do too. I recommend the professional service to anyone and everyone looking for LTE or uncapped solutions. I spoke to Steph M and again, a repeat of amazing service. Thanks so much.

Of all the internet service providers I've been with before, Afrihost is by far the best this far. Undoubtedly the best wireless internet provider in South Africa. The network speeds, amazing! Customer service, real time response! What more can you ask for?

Thank you for your expertise. After sitting with no wifi and internet for a month, it took about 5 days for Afrihost to sign me up and organise Vumatel to install new fibre in my home. Thank you, your team is fantastic.

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.
