I've been an Afrihost client for about 8yrs now. Always had really great service from them. Love the way I can personalize my products to suit our families needs as we require.

Absolutely love and would recommend to anyone. I've been using Afrihost for 1 years, never a moment of regret. Currently using them for Wireless LTE, 4 phone SIM cards, and fiber internet. The customer service is second to none! Best in SA!

Excellent customer service. The whatsapp chat operators are very efficient - taking the time to understand your query and resolving it efficiently. My internet is also working great. If you are looking for a new service provider that has great customer service - I'd say give Afrihost a try. Impressive service.

Been with Adrihost for many many years and have had zero issues. Very well priced and efficient with thier packages. The airmobile service makes all the normal phone providers internet extremely expensive since you get so much more for so much less with afrihost.

Afrihost is doing their best to make sure that they cover all their client base through all available platforms. The WhatsApp initiative was the best and i trust with time, they will be able to have dedicated agents to attend to WhatsApp queries ontime.

Afrihost have returned all calls and done all they can to assist with my transfer. Their whatsapp service is excellent. They should encourage Openserve not to have a freeze period during one of the busiest times of the year.

I have been using Afrihost as a service provider for domain hosting and email support fir quite a long time. Service has always been very good and effective.

Super amazing. Been with the service now for 5 years - starting with just email domain, then website hosting, now added wifi to the packages. Always available to assist (when it's not after hours), super friendly and efficient. Would totally recommend to other consumers looking for reliable and tech-savvy providers.

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!

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.
