Afrihost has been my ISP for 6 years now. I have had very minimal issues with them over the years and their service has been really great - especially with the option that they brought in a few years back to communicate with an agent over Whatsapp chat to speedily resolve any issues speedily. They have really improved their quality of service over the years. Afrihost as an ISP has been great!

Nompumelelo was professional and quick to respond. He attended to my problem and fixed it with the first attempt. That shows me the standard of his work. It was good to get this professional support.

I contacted Afrihost on WhatsApp and I was assisted by Neo M, I was bit confused about my order; he clarified everything, took me through all the steps. Afrihost doesn't only offer best services but hires passionate individuals. I'm happy with 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.
