Very reliable ISP, used them for years. Recently had to relocate line, and Xolani S. had me up and running in less than 30min at the new location, called me back to check it was working, etc... all round excellent service. You deserve a raise Xolani!

Best internet service provider in South Africa! I have never had a single worry. The whatsapp chat line is quick and efficient. The app works excellent to view your invoices, usage and local faults. Everything you need to maintain your afrihost account in one simple app. Account payments are also done very easily and you receive updates on possible line faults in your area. If you are looking for a internet service provider, stop right here because you will not get any better. Keep it up Afrihost team!

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.

Afrihost is not perfect, but I have always found their customer service really good. So, even though my internet speed sometimes fluctuates, there is always an efficient person available to help and reset my connection when needed.

afrihost provides such an amazing service! it's unbelievable considering that we're in south africa 😅. their internet connection never has any issues. the fact that you can communicate with an actual human being through their whatsapp number is just the cherry on top. the consultants have never failed to assist me with any of my enquiries. they are super friendly, always ready and willing to assist. they also go the extra mile by researching (within minutes) any information of an issue that you're unsure of that they seldom have customers asking about. i'm so happy i chose them as my 'internet service provider'. 10/10!!!

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
