Very happy with Afrihost, since 2018. Every few months they upgrade our fibre speed without charging more. Customer service is also top notch. Got a free router upgrade this week too. Keep it up.

You get to chat with a real human on whatsapp, not a bot, like most other internet service providers. Friendly , professional and efficient. Great rates.

Received some assistance via WhatsApp. Really great service. Mali was the person who helped me. Quick response time. Answered my questions to my satisfaction. And even sent me a link to speed up the process. I highly recommend using Afrihost's WhatsApp platform for your queries/any problems you might have.

You couldn't ask for a better provider. Going with Afrihost means no more hassle or fights with sub-par providers. Everything runs smoothly and they are always on your side should a problem arise!

Hands down the best service I have ever received! From the moment I placed my order until the configuration and everything was done, both Mkululi and Pitsetsi were super professional and helpful. I am very satisfied with the service I received and will highly recommend Afrihost to anyone.

Best Technical consultant I've ever dealt with in anything. I sent a message to their whatsapp. FUMANJI responded and helped me sort out my wifi after I was getting terrible signal for 2 weeks straight only to find out router software was faulty. He replied to each one of my whatsapps within seconds of my response and didn't leave me hanging until the problem was solved. Give this man a Bells! Honestly jokes aside best service ever from consultant.

What I like about them is that, they have a WIFI help platform which means you can send them pictures of all those technical funny stuff that you don't even understand as you go along so that you and the operator are on the same page ,and you don't have to worry much about whether you've explained the problem to them correctly because they see it as well. This reduced my anxiety as the client during the entire process. LOL, I was setting up my WIFI router just incase you're wondering as to what happened because I had recently switched from another service provider, and boy am I glad I did. Anyways, I think I will be stuck with these guys for a very long time, and thankfully by choice!

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.
