Service is fast. Packages are so affordable that one will think it is a scam. Well Afrihost is legit. Signal is better even though it received from another network's infrastructures. Great service.

Been with Afrihost/Vumatel for 2 years and I must say I’ve never had an issue that wasn’t their fault. Usually in my area it’s damaged lines etc. My speeds are always consistent and such. Support is quick to answer and email correspondence is as equally fast sometimes I send an email and get a response back within minutes.

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.
