Afrihosters are like brothers and sisters one never had. Never had a bad experience with them, even after a long time charting or speaking direct on the phone. Was charting to George earlier, the guy is just awesome.

I have been an Afrihost client for many many years. Host many domains with them. Have had issues but with Afrihost they resolve them. They care. And fast. Even when I moved to Cape from JHB they assisted me with loan device to remain connected while i wait for fibre in my area and when I moved twice since they moved with me. You cannot go wrong with Afrihost.

Excellent customer service. High quality broadband, and best value for money internet.

Be assured that any issues you may encounter (which isn't many) will be resolved swiftly and efficiently.

The service received from Afrihost was amazing. I have had 3 interactions with this company since taking a SIM card with them and each instance was handled speedily and the issued effectively resolved. I will highly recommend Afrihost. In fact, I have been a loyal customer with another network since 2010 and considering changing permanently due to the service received..and also the pricing

Afrihost's WhatsApp chat platform is one of the best, you are actually chatting to a person and not a machine. Responses are detailed and informative. Yvonne checked if my area has LTE coverage, available packages and more. Thank you

We moved our fiber to Afrihost. Put order in on 31/03/2024 which is the day our previous ISP ended. Waited until after public holiday and on 02/04/2024 the new line was requested, approved and activated. The new router is on its way but we are already online with our old router. Amazing service, great app and super fast internet. We are very happy.

The quality of the service was simply amazing. The operator that assisted me setting up my internet connection was exceptionally professional and I could tell he knew what he was doing. Thank you for restoring my faith in customer satisfaction and my faith in Afrihost.

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.
