Been a longstanding customer of Afrihost and whenever I have an issue, they're quick to resolve it. It's just a pity the area I'm in isn't Fibre friendly so I can move away from LTE. Thanks Itumeleng for assisting today.

I was treated most professionally, competently and with great patience by Sicelo, despite being irate and flustered at month-end. Extremely happy with the service.

Afrihost is one the best ISPs in South Africa. They have top class and helpful customer service. I got a "Fixed LTE MTN" plan and ZTE mf286c router with Afrihost and the experience has just been amazing. Average speeds during peak hours, 50Mbp Down & 30Mbps Up, ave latency 40-70ms Average speeds during chilled hours 110Mbps Down and 80Mbps Up. Average latency 10-20ms

Top-class service! I'd highly recommend them if you're shopping around for an internet service provider. I've been with them for 4 years and won't go anywhere else.

Linda D – Absolute Star at Afrihost ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was frustrated after being kept on hold for a while and, shame, I gave Linda D a bit of attitude out of pure irritation. But wow — she didn’t take it personally. She stayed calm, patient, and helped me with everything I needed. Even when I asked her to transfer the chat, she stuck with me and resolved my issue like a pro. That’s next-level service. Afrihost, you’ve got a real gem on your hands. Big respect!

Using them as my ISP for a long time now and have had zero issues with both AfriHost as my ISP and VumaTel as my line management team. Queries are easy to get assistance with via WhatsApp and all the consultants seem to be helpful, understanding and skilled to resolve them. I will highly recommend them.

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.
