Afrihost is really the best! No internet provider is as patient and accessible as them!! Their personale are trained to be patient and anticipate a customer’s frustrations that you end up feeling silly because ”of course Afrihost will solve your problem!!” Effective, efficient and responsive.

Have been with Afrihost for a number of years now and even migrated with them to Fibre. They are very helpful and I would recommend using the Whatsapp support service as it works very well. We have had extremely little down time so their up time is excellent

Short description, my fiber line was moved from my old location to a new premises. Working with huge amounts of data I've notice slow speeds and did a speed test. The line was underperforming and I contacted my provide, Afrihost. I was assisted via the whatsapp line by Nhlakanipho who was super helpful and assisted promptly. From Afrihost side all was in order and a ticket was logged with the last mile provider to re-provision my line with the correct line speed. Thank you very much for the prompt assistance and support Nhlakanipho, it's much appreciated. Great JOB!

I have been an Afrihost client for many years now, and recently moved our home internet services to them due to their exceptional client service - nice to still be able to speak to a human via WhatsApp in these AI dominated times!

Five Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ customer service It was a pleasure dealing with Sthembile. He assisted me and put my mind at ease when I was stressed out. Well mannered, patient, answered all my questions and guided me.. He is an asset and one of the reasons I stay with Afrihost. An asset to Afrihost

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Jessica S from Afrihost. The experience was a breeze she helped me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Afrihost because most companies that supply fibre you cannot get in touch with them at all if you need any assistance.

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.
