Great service for many years. Would recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for a service provider for your network needs. Best service I receive when ever there's an issue on the net which is not often.

I've never been to the physical location, but I was asked to rate their service. This star review is a measure of their online customer service, not the physical location.

Thank you Afrihost. My experience with you this far is very good. No problems out of the ordinary, just normal hiccups along the road, what is normal. Coz we are living in a fallen world and can't expect everything must always be smoothly and perfect. You keep up with the amazing work and you will definitely get more happy and pleased clients.

Afrihost is one of the few exceptional service providers in SA. I live in a very rural area with limited access to high speed comms. Afrihost's LTE sorted this problem. Delivery was speedy, troubleshooting is a joy as it can be done via WhatsApp. I would highly recommend Afrihost as preferred service provider.

I have been using Afrihost for over 10 years, and I have always been pleased with their service. Despite a lot of ISPs to choose from, I have not been able to find a reason to bother looking others.

I'm really happy with the service I get from Afrihost. Have been using them for about 8 years now and would recommend them to anyone. I specifically like how user-friendly their platform is and also how there's always someone to assist when I'm stuck

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.
