I’ve moved homes several times, and getting fibre up and running has always been a headache. It usually took more than a week, and I never once had it working on the same day I moved in. This time, with Afrihost and Openserve, the experience was completely different. Afrihost kept me in constant communication with regular updates, so I always knew what was happening. On the actual moving day, there was even a missing cable — and they had a technical agent on-site within 2 hours to fix it! I was honestly blown away. Everything was running smoothly the same day I moved in. Their service, reliability, and responsiveness truly set them apart. Afrihost is hands down the best ISP in South Africa.

It has always been a pleasure using afrihost. The after sales support is amazing especially because I dont have to wait too long for their callback nor whatsapp messages. Also enjoy the surprise upgrades and specials.

Been with Afrihost since 2018 for Fibre. Best ISP I've experienced. I also make use of their domain parking and airmobile services and plan to make use of more of their services in future. I also found them to be decently priced.

After months of struggling with my previous provider I decided to cancel and switch to afrihost on a friend's recommendation. The process was started Saturday evening and by Tuesday afternoon everything was working - fantastic customer service.

The quality of the service was simply amazing. The operator that assisted me setting up my internet connection was exceptionally professional and I could tell he knew what he was doing. Thank you for restoring my faith in customer satisfaction and my faith in Afrihost.

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.
