I had the pleasure of receiving assistance from Lindiwe, and I must say her expertise, patience, and professionalism were truly impressive. My fibre line had multiple issues — more than usual — yet she handled each one calmly and efficiently over the phone. Lindiwe resolved every problem quickly, with clear explanations and genuine respect throughout the entire process. It’s rare to come across someone so knowledgeable and dedicated to ensuring everything works perfectly. Her excellent service turned what could have been a frustrating situation into a smooth and hassle-free experience. Thank you, Lindiwe, for going the extra mile and for making sure my connection is up and running better than ever. Your help is greatly appreciated! P.S. I truly wish we, as South Africans, could learn to appreciate and uplift one another more — not be divided by the elites who keep us apart along racial lines. Despite all the struggles we face as a nation, the true spirit and kindness of our people always shine through. I have lived in the USA since 2008, and yet my heart remains tied to the resilience and warmth I see in everyday South Africans. It reminds me that no matter how tough things get, our shared humanity and compassion for each other are what make us strong. May we never lose that, and may we always find ways to stand together, beyond the divisions others try to create.

Great experience with the Afrihost Whatsapp consultant this morning. Woke up to no internet service. After doing all the necessary checks, reboots, port recreation, etc., we were back up in good time. Thank you for your fast and efficient service.

I ordered a line from Afrihost and unfortunately it only synced at 10 meg where the order was for 50. First contact with Afrihost was professional and down to the point. confident to go forward with their services and would recommend their Client Zone port above other ISP's

My experience with afrihost has been very pleasant, agent Nqobile N displayed excellent customer service, when an enquiry had arisen and I needed assistance, this agent was very knowledgeable and understood what I needed and was very patient, I am very proud to be a client of afrihost if this is the service I am to receive from every agent. Like I said previously give this one a bells, if not a raise.

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.
