I have been with Afrihost since they started for first Adsl and now fibre . I have always been very happy with their good service. We have had very few problems over the years and when we have had the odd intermittent issue, they have resolved it immediately. Their WhatsApp chat platform is very effective. Thank you Afrihost for the great service.

Everything was explained so well. Person I chatted to was very patient with me. I'm not very clued up with this kind of technology and what is offered. I was told about whatever I wanted to know.

They had a nationwide issue that was resolved, but I still could not connect. Contacted them via WhatsApp and 5 minutes later the issue was resolved. Great service, no wasted time, just a quick resolution.

Their the best... Afrihost. Easy to use. And easy to Communicate with the team. I recommend Afrihost for doing any online payments. If there was a 10Star rating. I'd rate out of 10 instead of 5 😁 Thank you.

The online whatsapp help line was fantastic and it's amazing to speak to a person and not a computer generated program, although those have their place. Was just fantastic and now we don't have to wait for someone to come to us.

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.
