I have been with Afrihost for more than 3 years as my domain host and love their service. Their WhatsApp help is the best, friendly and professional staff always.

Afrihosters are like brothers and sisters one never had. Never had a bad experience with them, even after a long time charting or speaking direct on the phone. Was charting to George earlier, the guy is just awesome.

All i can say is that if you looking for a network or sim card that is fast, reliable and always available whenever you need it, trust afrihost to give you that, furthermore i wanted to test my AfriHost sim coverage so i travelled from Johannesburg all the way to Mesina and their network and internet was still smooth and quick, what more would you ask for from a network?, nothing..Get yours before its late, Afrihost keep it up.

For how Iong i dreamt of having my own wifi. I tried getting wifi by 2 companies (Telkom was one) and both turned me down. Afrihost assisted me plus by sending my router before i payd it. They were patient with payments and still friendly. And till today they still help with good and friendly service. For the price and service they give i give 10 stars. If it was not for them, i still would not have wifi. I love u guys!! Keep up the good work!!!

Thulanie on the whatsapp customer care line is one of the most efficient and knowledgeable consultants I have dealt with, an absolute pleasure and sorted out and detected the problem in 5 min whereas others could not do the same in 24 hrs. Well done and thank you Thulanie.

I have been an Afrihost client for many years. My experience with them has been of a very stable network, good communication on their website on the rare occasions that it has been down, reasonably priced. My experience with their WhatsApp helpline has also been positive.

Best service with signing up. Although I’m not a contract client with Telkom I still have to pay a full month payment with Telkom and it helps having no first payment with Afrihost. Great sign up with ease and all correspondence efficient. Thanks Afrihost team

Afrihost provides affordable and quality fibre service, their installation was quick and free, their whatsapp team is also quick and very helpful regardless of the issue presented. After 4 years of using their services I can definitely say it's been more than worthwhile.

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.
