Been with Afrihost on and off for about ten years, and they've consistently provided great pricing and pretty much unmatched service. The only issues I've ever had with them were because they had to deal with Telkom/Openserve, and it goes without saying that that's not their fault.

I appreciate how quickly Afri Host replies to WhatsApp messages and resolves queries; keep up the good work, but please improve your website when submitting FICA paperwork; overall, I am a new satisfied client and would refer you to anyone. Can't wait for my SIM card.

My line is always running at the speed I pay for. Almost all technicians are helpful and quickly available. I have used Afrihost for 3 years and shall continue to do so.

Hardly have any negative experience with their customer service and my WiFi and internet connection have been stable throughout my subscription, apart from one or two days out of the 3 years where WiFi or Internet connection was problematic either due to external sources or problems with my router. All in all, great service and happy with my product.

Best customer service of all time. May bot always have the best deal. But I would choose quality customer service over anything. Their WhatsApp chat makes it so easy to get help efficiently.

I've always had incredible service from Afrihost since 2016. My business domain and email is with Afrihost and the service has and continues to be impeccable!

I recently had the pleasure of being assisted by Onndwela M from Afrihost, and I must say the service was nothing short of excellent. From start to finish, Onndwela handled my query with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. Every step was explained clearly, and I felt valued as a customer throughout the interaction. It’s rare to come across someone who combines efficiency with such a personable approach, but Onndwela did exactly that. I would confidently rate the service a 10 out of 10. Afrihost should be proud to have such a dedicated team member representing them. Thank you, Onndwela, for turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and positive experience.

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.
