The quality of the service was simply amazing. The operator that assisted me setting up my internet connection was exceptionally professional and I could tell he knew what he was doing. Thank you for restoring my faith in customer satisfaction and my faith in Afrihost.

Afrihost is a top-notch internet provider that offers fantastic service and unbeatable deals at affordable prices. In my year of being a customer, I never experienced any issues with my connection until today. However, within just 5 minutes of reaching out for assistance via WhatsApp, my problem was promptly resolved by a helpful assistant. The service I received was truly exceptional - the representative was courteous, efficient, and provided clear guidance. I am extremely grateful for the quick and effective resolution. Thank you, Afrihost!

Afrihost is my "go to" service provider cos their online portal is "user friendly" and so are their staff 😉. They are quick to sort out issues if you have any.

I’m sorry to name drop but dealing with Telkom for the last 5 years was the worst experience! Switching to AfriHost for Wi-Fi in a remote small town was the best choice. I can’t thank these guys enough for the quick and easy service. You don’t have to beg and plead to get things done. THANK YOU!!!

I think we often give reviews for negative things and while it's great to help others who want to know about a company or service, it is good to acknowledge great service. I have been with Afrihost for close to 5 years now and I am extremely happy with their service. They give excellent service honestly and are the best in the business. It's always prompt and efficient service and friendly chat agents on the WhatsApp service. Even when they do not have an immediate solution, they always keep you in the loop. Big ups to them.

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.
