As a afrihost client, they have always been professional at what they do with the service they provide and if there are any technical issue, they handle it promptly if possible. I just had a conversation with afrihost after a long time, and they were able to answer my queries precisely, professionally, directly with all the information that I needed to hear. Thank you for the amazing service and support.

My 2 year LTE contract with a mobile service provider ended in March 2020 - about the time when we had a national lockdown because of Covid-19. I have then decided to take the fibre option from one of the big cellular providers. These guys sent me from pillar to POST with the router, the temporary LTE and getting me up and running. When I contacted Afrihost, I have been assisted telephonically to determine my requirements. They've handled all the admin of cancelling the service which I did not receive from the other service provider and I have received my router on the same day. Afrihost did not dissapoint! It was the first time that I have received such great and quality service from a big brand in South Africa!!! I was able to work from home, with quality high speed internet!!! Afrihost is the BEST!... By far! Thank you Faith, Artur and Ruvan!

My customer representative at Afrihost was exceptional. She listened, understood, was very patient and told me exactly how to move forward. Fantastic service.

Service improved since last interaction!!!! hosting is unstable and support is rubbish, whatsup support is delayed where you can spend 2 hours on a simple inquiry, call centre doesn't take calls anymore and when there is a national issue with hosting you find out by accident when you emails start bouncing later to discover that Afrihost is having issues. Will start looking for an alternative service provider

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.
