Been with Afrihost for 6 years - exceptionally pleased. Uptime > > 99% bar one incident of intermittent drop-outs caused by my fibre equipment had become outdated - got routed to Vuma who replaced expeditiously Maybe not the cheapest but if you need / want reliable hassle free internet this is the way to go

Excellent service I got from a person called Sello. Afrihost must just fix their debit method as it sometimes don't debit automatically. This has to be really looked at bcoz it's a big inconvenience sometimes.

I've had an amazing experience with Afrihost! Their customer service is fast, friendly, and always helpful. The internet connection is reliable and consistent, and setup was smooth from the beginning. I really appreciate the transparency and how easy it is to manage everything from their app. Great value for money – I highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for quality service and peace of mind. Keep up the great work!

No problems with Afrihost contrary to some other people's experiences. Maybe I'm lucky, caught their support staff on a good day or they're trying the best they can and make mistakes sometime. Anyway, based on my experiences with my current fibre line, UPS, one domain with the low end shared hosting, I have received nothing but excellent service for the amount of money I pay every month.

Really good and knowledgeable support at one’s finger tips on Whatsapp helps when you are practically IT illiterate as I am. Great service, Afrihost!

I've been with Afrihost for a good few years and they have been a great ISP. Their packages are great value for money and when it comes to resolving issues, they have a Whatsapp chat portal which makes it super simple to resolve any issues you may have in real time.

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.
