Some of the best client service I have experienced in SA! Their communication through WhatsApp and their call back function works excellent, with a call back in literally less that 3 minutes. Every agent I have spoken to was very well trained and friendly, making it a pleasure to deal with Afrihost!

I am an old Afihost customer. Had a break when another ISP offered me a deal with free voice. Since all the elderly has passed on we no longer require voice, so I'm coming back to Afrihost. Glad to be back.

I am pleased and happy with their excellent customer service. The entire process took approximately three days, way less than i expected, especially during the festive season. They guided me throughout the entire process and made sure that i get high quality customer service and connection. I highly recommend Afrihost as they followup on all your enquiries.

Afrihost has always delivered an awesome service. Delivers order on time, good service on a monthly basis and also good customer care. In being with them for on and off 6 to 7 years the service etc never changed. Well done

Afrihost hosting environment is fantastic, nice user interface, fast and efficient. And the Whatsapp support chat is a real blessing - I was able to sort out one or two blockers in no time. Well done Afrihost team!

I first shifted my sim cards to Airmobile. The process was smooth and the experience so far has be outstanding. When I wanted to register a domain and Afrihost was my first choice. Service was excellent again. When I struggled to set up email the service agent was effective, patient, friendly and professional. If you haven't used Afrihost, try them before going anywhere else. You will get excellent service

I use Afrihost as my ISP as well as hosting for various projects. I have always received top notch service. They are not perfect (no system or service provider is), but they always manage to solve any issues in a timely manner..

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.

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.
