I've been with Afrihost for a number of years now and through various iterations of broadband internet connectivity. Their service has always been world class. I have had my share of run ins with them from time to time, but my issues are always resolved timeously in the end. Keep up the good work.

I recently rejoined Afrihost after being with DSTV for a couple of years. I received a new router by courier and literally just connected the cable, nothing else. The whole experience from signing up to connection is painless. They really are exceptional!

Afrihost has to be one of the most customer-focused companies in SA. Always a pleasure to deal with -- even when the internet gremlins are playing up.

Customer care has always been good and they still uphold today. Would be a shame to hear if someone have struggled with Afrihost's customer care.

Their whatsapp assistant is fast and reliable. One of their agent by the name of Vuyo M, he went beyond to what I was expecting and assisted me, he kept asking if I was still there and solved my problem on the go. We need more people like Vuyo.

Afrihost contact center answered my queries promptly and informativly. Im very satisfied. No reason to run off to another service provider. Four years and only had a 20 min interruption once.

Been a customer for years. It's an honest service. What you pay for is what you get, no hidden b.s. They don't cheat you with hidden costs or 'special offers' that screw you over, This stands out among S.A mobile data providers.

Afrihost is the best. The 24hr customer car facility is great and well thought. I was recommended by a colleague and will gladly recommended them to anyone.

We are moving, and need a new internet service provider. Shopping around, I tried Afrihost. And what a great experience I had with their WhatsApp chats help! A real person answers immediately, never gives up and guided me through all my questions. I am impressed and very grateful! I had more than one helper, but would like a special mention to Keshia G, who even offered to get my account verified from her side, which she did. I am now sorted, and a very happy client. Looking forward to continued great service! Marinda Steenkamp

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.
