My first experience in transferring an account from previous owner to me was made easy. Lerato was so patient and clear in explaining the required steps through the WhatsApp chat. I'm staying here.

The quality of the service I've received from Afrihost is incredible. Their WhatsApp support chat is like a dream! No sitting endlessly on calls waiting for answers. Can't recommend them highly enough!

I rarely deal with issues with Afrihost Given I work at home full time, Internet connection is important. From experiencing intermittent connections to no connection, I reached out again on the WhatsApp line in which Thabang M greatly assisted me in being reconnected even though it took some time

I have been a customer with Afrihost for just over 10 years, and during this time they have only become better with each interaction. The staff are always very helpful and friendly, and they have never let me down.

Afrihost after sale service and technical support is definitely way above our SA expectations and belief. You can compare it to overseas expectations and they would be NO 1 in my view

Afrihost is one of the better ISP's and very customer orientated. Being using different services with them over many years, LTE, hosting, Fibre, etc. and never had a challenge that they could not resolve professionally and speedily. I would highly recommend them..

I'm very happy with Afrihost. I've been using Afrihost for hosting my website and creating my domain. I'm new to the whole process and I've dealt with 6 or more Afrihost staff. They were always willing to help and assist with all my questions. They were all very friendly and didn't mind simplifying the terminology to make things easier to understand.

Went on the whatsapp help line and the Apfeswaho M helped me sort out my emails. Very patient and knew exactly what I needed to get my emails on my phone sorted. Plus Afrihost give me exactly what I need with sorting out my emails.

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.
