Richard, Elvirna, Kate, Larry, Rhulani, Germaine and Thulanie to name but a few Afrihost support staff very friendly,helpful and professional 5 Star rating for them. Please note Elvirna has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I feel should be rewarded with a bonus for all her hard work.

Afrihost never disappoints with their support team, something which is now very rare with most companies. Been with them for more than 5 years now and continues being happy 😊

I've been with Afrihost since back in the dialup modem days and later also ADSL. I had to switch however to another ISP when we got fibre as Afrihost didn't service our area at the time. However, my experience with them were never as good as with Afrihost and when Afrihost did eventually offer fibre services on our Vumatel infrastructure, I was eager to jump back - and have been happy ever since.

At first I was uncomfortable with the fact that the phonelines have been deactivated thus I cannot verbally interact to get my website problem solved. But the WA interaction was even better than a voice call...quick and painless. Problem solved within a few short minutes. ThNk you.

I've been with Afrihost since 2019 and they've been providing me with excellent service. Call backs are almost immediate. Their support staff are very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile. I would also like to commend the gentleman Ngcebo, who recently assisted me with a few queries. Keep up the fantastic work Sir.

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.
