I have had the utmost friendly, efficient and totally professional interaction with Afrihost. They kept me in the loop every step of the way with regards to the installation of my fibre. They are quick to answer any queries you have, and not one of my queries has been answered incorrectly. I would highly recommend them.

It was a pleasure to have been helped by Nonhle. It took a bit of time. But my problem was fixed with a bit of patience. It is good to be associated with Afrihost. They go out of their way to assist. Excellent service provider.

Afrihost is still the best ISP; the agent that dealt with my query today was very knowledgeable and patient with me while we chat on WhatsApp platform. She rides with me step-by-step and there was no drop chats experienced while resolving my issue. I don't regret to choose Afrihost.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
