Exceptional service I recently received from Blessing M. I had the pleasure of interacting with him regarding an issue I was experiencing⁶⁶, and I must say I was thoroughly impressed by the level of professionalism and efficiency displayed throughout the process. From the moment I reached out for assistance, I was promptly addressed and provided with immediate support to help resolve my issue. The responsiveness and attentiveness demonstrated by Blessing M truly exceeded my expectations. Not only was my problem resolved swiftly, but the assistance I received was delivered with a high level of expertise and care. I believe that outstanding customer service should be recognized and celebrated, and I want to commend Blessing for his dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction. It is clear that he values his customers and goes above and beyond to deliver top-notch service. Thank you once again for the excellent support I received. I am truly grateful for the positive experience and look forward to continuing my relationship with your company.

The "pay as you go" type of service is wonderful. No long term contracts, no hidden small print. Afrihost makes the financial part of owning a cell phone really pain free.

I have just moved from Vox to Afrihost due to terrible customer service at Vox and I am pleased to say that the service I have received from Afrihost has been AMAZING. My line was installed the next day and there were people on hand to assist at all times. Good customer service is hard to come by but Afrihost has definitely restored my faith. THANKS AFRIHOST!!!

I'm a Vuma Reach client & also the admin on a WhatsApp support group for Vuma Reach in my community. From my personal experience as a client & an unofficial support for the community Fibre issues, I personally would recommend Afrihost as the best choice for a Vuma Reach ISP.

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.

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.
