What an amazing experience. I wanted to get Fibre for my mom in the retirement village where she's at. Quick response. I did everything online, it was easy and the customer service was impeccable! I would definitely recommend Afrihost if you need Fibre in Pretoria East region. Well done to Openserve and Afrihost!

I have always received professional and very good customer service and support from Afrihost. I have been with them so long now and never had a problem. Even if they became the most expensive, I will still stay. The service is the value for money.

My experience with Afrihost has been nothing short of excellent. The staff is friendly and very helpful. The home WiFi has always been fast and the network is great.

Quick effecient service. In a day and age where one takes a deep breath before reluctantly trying to contact a support desk, Afirihost is a breath of fresh air. Fast, effecient, friendly, effective.

The process, from start to finish, was quick—less than a week—and incredibly efficient, painless, and communicative. I highly recommend it, and I’ve also been recommended by many others

Arthur, the Memory Maestro: Arthur, the wizard from our hosting and domain provider, is like the modern-day Arthur the Great – only instead of a round table, he's got a desk and a knack for memory magic! When I needed to boost my website's memory for some fancy tweaks, Arthur stepped in with his digital Excalibur and expanded it like a pro. While the original Arthur had knights and quests, this Arthur navigates domains and digital realms with finesse. He made the impossible look easy, just like pulling a sword from a stone. If I could, I'd give him a digital crown and a seat at the 'geek' table! Thanks to Arthur's memory mastery, my website is now the shining jewel of the internet. Kudos, Arthur, for being the modern Merlin of website memory!

As a technically challenged person I normally confuse everyone trying to help me electronically, but today I was helped by Thabo from Afrihost in record time. He has been well trained by them on customer satisfaction and technically too. Afrihost is one of the very few companies I can clearly believe who understand their customers and do their utmost to help us.👍👊

I’d like to extend my sincere appreciation to Nomcqibelo, an Afrihost consultant, for her outstanding service. I lodged several requests, and she handled my case with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. Thanks to her swift action, my issue was resolved within an hour of contacting her. Truly impressive support, thank you, Nomcqibelo!

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.
