The best ISP ever! I have been their client for about 15 years - never considered anybody else! If there is a hiccup sometimes, they sort it out within minutes, if not seconds! THANKS, AFRIHOST!

Afrihost’s WA helpline always replies in seconds or minute or two and nearly always solves the problem. Our fibre connection speed is nearly always what it should be. We’ve been with them years. We also use their fibre package at our holiday flat.

Always punctual, and if there is a problem, normally through a carrier then they are immediately on the button giving assistance and sorting the issue out.

After being with 2 x HORRIBLE ISPs.... Afrihost has been a breath of fresh air. From the order process, to the easiest and quickest installation EVER... This is what service is and the rest of SA should take notes. Keep up the good work guys!

I phoned Afrihost to request information because I was looking for the possibility of joining their FTTH unfortunately the email connected to me was blocked and the gentleman who was helping me was excellent and he understood my problem. He was patient with me and went all the way to Investigate my problem and pointed me to the relevant Depart of Afrihost that will assist me further. Well done Afrihost that is the reason why I want to join you. Your service is excellent!! Mike Taffa

My website server was down for several days, my I.T provider was terribly slow to assist. I looked up afrihost help desk on my own, with little knowledge on the issue . Sent a watsapp to their help desk and received awesome service. Totally exceeded my expectations. We are back online

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!

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.
