I am in the process of Signing-up for Afrihost Fibre and have been a client for years as they host my domain as well as channel my data through them as I find this to be much cheaper than using the normal service provider data packages on my telephone. I have been dealing with other ISP's where the service was horendous. The assistance that I have receive from Afrihost is always quick and I mostly make use of the Whatsapp call centre service, this saves time and money. Not just a great product but also a great service

Afrihost is the best Internet provider in SA. They constantly upgrade my line at no additional cost, the network is always stable, and I just received a free SIM card to test with 10G data and R100 worth of airtime. They understand the meaning of getting down to business and always being available when you need them most.

As a long time Vodacom Fibre customer, I need to look for a new service provider as Vodacom Fibre couldn't resolve 2.4GhZ connectivity for over 7 weeks (since 13 April 2025) with numerous calls and reference numbers, all simply got closed without any resolution I asked ChatGPT for the best and most reliable Fibre Service Provider in Johannesburg, South Africa and Afrihost was the highest ranking and most recommended by ChatGPT. A simple prompts on their website and I was registered, sleek process and I also reach out to Afrihost WhatsApp for assistance and I was assisted by Mfanelo G, who was a pleasure to deal with, professional and sleek response, thank you Afrihost, I look forward to receiving my new router soon to with over Keep it up with the great service Afrihost Thank you Miguel Chan

The WhatsApp assistance team is excellent! So much easier when one can send screenshots of the actual issue instead of explaining via a phone call.

Been a looong time user, and was remined again today, of why I have stuck with Afrihost through multiple network carriers. Great service in getting a carrier issue resolved speedily, again.

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.
