Had a query regarding signal on my router dropping repeatedly after a month of working fine. Help on the Wattsapp chat by Ricky S was set up quickly and easily. Ricky rebooted their server without asking me to repeat anything and was pleasant, polite, competent and quick. Love this kind of communication.

Never visited the place, but their online consultants are always available whenever I need help. I always contact them via WhatsApp, and they reply in a couple of seconds. In my opinion, they are the best Internet Service Provider in South Africa, and they seem to put their customers first. I would definitely recommend them in the blink of an eye. Keep up the good work.

Afrihost is not perfect, but I have always found their customer service really good. So, even though my internet speed sometimes fluctuates, there is always an efficient person available to help and reset my connection when needed.

What and absolutely great pleasure working with these people. VOX and Vodacom can learn a thing or two regarding customer service/Support from Afrihost. They got me signed up within a few minutes, all of this via a WhatsApp chat which I am very skeptical about. They pulled it off in a glamorous way. 10/10

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.
