Always get timely assistance. Much better service than my previous service provider. I've been using afrihost for years for hosting and now will be switching over to theor fibre as well. Will always recommend. The WhatsApp chat function is also very easy and convenient to use.

This is the only ISP to provide quick answers and proper support. The only problem is the lack of fixed-IP's. Other than that the staff is very friendly and helpful. Thank for the support.

Always a pleasure to ask afrihost staff for assistance, they always quick to help, and they don't make you feel like just another number in their directory, you get the feeling they care about their customers and about the services they deliver.

Super efficient service from Thulanie at afrihost. I find the WhatsApp chat services really excellent as you are instantly helped and not left hanging on a line endlessly. All has been logged with necessary providers etc. Painless for me which was great.

There's not enough typing space for my comment, thank you very very much. 10 out of 10 all the way is cutting way too thin. I would like to repeat my last visit to your offices as in 2017 to meet the gears in the machine.

I love Afrihost! The registration was a little of a struggle because it was new to me. Getting to register my Router on their APN and just the payment method also. But once I was set, everything was smooth sailing ever since. Great custmer care, tops service! Awesome company this is!

I would give them 10 starts if I could. After looking for a fiber company to go with, i founf them, and i will never look back. They are fast, efficient, friendly and very professional. It's a pleasure doing business with them.

Even if I’m not happy with Afrihost sometimes - more lately than ever, I have to give Vallencia a 5🌟 - taking my frustration out on her and she keeps Afrihost’ name up in lights. Can learn a lot from her 😏

I love dealing with Afrihost. Their products and services are competitively priced and their support agents are friendly and willing to resolve any issues. Little to no delay when dealing with support over WhatsApp. It's a thumbs up from me.

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.
