Afrihost is always easy to reach and quick to assist with technical questions and problems. As a small business owner I am very pleased with their support and often jump onto a WhatsApp chat with their support team. It's like having a whole IT team at my disposal.

I've been with several ISPs over the years, and Afrihost beats most (if not all) other ISPs in South Africa. I can't recall ever having a bad experience with Afrihost, so keep it up guys!

Afrihost is always quick to assist with real people on the other side. I have been with them for over 10 years and they have never failed me.

The online system is very convenient and works very well. I also used the WhatsApp chat line where I received prompt responses and assistance.

It's very simple, I had an issue, Afrihost has an employer in David S who clearly understand his role because he immediately knew what my issue was. His clear, simple.and easy instructions provided over the whatsapp chat helpline made it so easy for me as a user to do what was required to fix my issue. A gem of an employee. Thank you Afrihost but more importantly, thank you David S! Soo happy to be back with Afrihost.

Have had an excellent customer service experience past 2 years. Whenever there is a server side issue. They are quick to respond for assistance and resolve the issues seem less. Would highly recommend Afrihost. Also the actual products/service/WiFi is great. Can't live without my uncapped, 50mb line.

Love the whatsapp customer service. It is so easy to get in contact without waiting on a phone call forever. Such friendly and efficient staff who know what to check to get things sorted.

The most important thing Afrihost gets right that most other Service Providers continue to fail at, is having consistently responsive and helpful customer service. Excellent

Pricing is great and I have never had any issues with there service. The customer support is friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend anyone who is considering them to go right ahead

I love Afrihost, I have had very few errors in the years with them since ADSL and really happy with how they have always treated me. I am in IT myself so a lot of troubleshooting is done by myself if I do have issues to provide the required information to resolve issues.

Not using Afrihost services as yet, but definitely signing up as soon as my cancelation with the weather related provider kicks in. Their service with regards to all my queries was of a very professional nature. Definitely signing up! As should the rest of South Africa.

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.
