Great customer care service and from my experience so far, are very open and honest, especially if they are busy, it really puts ones mind at ease when the consultants communicate, and at least as a customer you know that you are not being ignored, but they will get back to you. A company that values teamwork with staff that is friendly. Thanks Afrihost. Never lose your spark!

Of all the internet service providers I've been with before, Afrihost is by far the best this far. Undoubtedly the best wireless internet provider in South Africa. The network speeds, amazing! Customer service, real time response! What more can you ask for?

Afrihost is taking over my current Openserve line from another government owned ISP. Their assistance and friendliness was just what I needed after weeks of headaches and frustration. Thank you, Afrihost!

Asked my previous ISP provider to move my connection to a new location, giving them a month and a half notice of the move, after 10 days after the move and nothing happening apart from they will escalate the problem, I cancelled with them, and contacted Afrihost, everything was done quickly and efficiently, and best of all they kept me informed of the progress .

The smoothest fibre installation I have ever experienced. We signed up, a technician installed the fibre and our wifi was done! When we had internet trouble on a Sunday and the Whatsapp help chat was amazingly helpful and they fixed my internet. I am extremely satisfied and would recommend Afrihost for you wifi needs!

Absolutely amazing service. Their whatsapp line was prompt and efficient. Didn't have any long waits for replies which are common on WhatsApp contact centre's. My enquiries and requirements were all done in a few minutes.

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.
