I strongly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for best service and quick response regarding internet connection. Thumbs up to Thabo M who assisted me perfectly.

All in all best ISP I've ever had the pleasure to deal with! Some problems here and there but that's due to factors such as copper theft. Have a LTE data bundle linked to my phone, as does my wife, fantastic value for money (MTN)! Would stay with them for a fibre contract but I live in a one horse town and unfortunately they aren't a provider. Can't go wrong with them!

I've been with Afrihost since 2021 and they are great. There are slight issues with the internet now and again but not hectic enough that it ruins my day or my experience. They are always on point and their whatsapp team is awesome❤️

I’d like to commend Tshegofatso from Afrihost for the outstanding service I received. Not only was the assistance prompt and professional, but Tshegofatso went above and beyond to ensure my fibre line speeds were significantly improved. What really stood out was receiving such excellent support on a Sunday — a time when most services are limited. Tshegofatso handled everything efficiently, kept me informed throughout the process, and delivered real results. Truly brilliant service and a great reflection of Afrihost’s commitment to their customers. Highly appreciated!

Super support! Always professional, patient, fight for you with infrastructure providers, communication good. Just idea sometimes consider or ask the customer or user are you technical in order to provide direct support. Small thing for an excellent ISP.

Definitely recommend Afrihost. So convenient with the WhatsApp chat option and to actually speak to a real person who understands the system on their side and can access your account and give direct feedback.

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.
