I have been using Afrihost for several years now , and I have never regretted it even once. Their service level is exceptional , consistently exceeding my expectations. You won't regret choosing them; give them a try, and you'll be thanking me later.

Afrihost is tops and by far the best service provider. Always get immediate, friendly and efficient help and their Whatsapp line is fantastic

I was with Afrihost years ago with only the best service and quick response when a fault occurred. I moved to my current location and were with another ISP and not so happy. I decided to go back to Afrihost and while the problem is not fully resolved yet, the service on their WhatsApp line on Saturday was professional, helpful and friendly. I trust that my internet connection will be resolved soon.

Company is easy to use and I love the UI User Interface as it so easy to navigate, visit and search the things I am looking for. The UI is pleasing to the eyes and expresses simplicity & convenience. I will carry on doing business with Afrihost because they are a company that outcompetes & outworks the competitors in this industry

I have been a client of Afrihost for many years. I have not had any problems. Fibre box on pavement broken and I am sure it will be fixed very soon.

Tshepo M was so helpful assisting me to set up my Dad's phone. He took time to check everything and instruct me accordingly. An asset to your company indeed. Looking forward to dealing with Afrihost!

Been with Afrihost for years. Had an issue with e-mail delivery and the Whatsapp webchat support was right on it. Sorted in 10 minutes, efficiently and politely. What's not to like about that?

I would recommend this ISP over and above any other. I have been with them for over 15 years and despite lighting striking modems and loadshedding, they have come through again and again!!!

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.
