I have on several occasions used Afrihost for fibre connectivity and they are quick and efficient and no holding on in callcentre queues, simply contact them on whatsapp or self service on their app CS Zone which is really easy to navigate.

Have been with Afrihost for a number of years now and even migrated with them to Fibre. They are very helpful and I would recommend using the Whatsapp support service as it works very well. We have had extremely little down time so their up time is excellent

All in all best ISP I've ever had the pleasure to deal with! Some problems here and there but that's due to factors such as copper theft. Have a LTE data bundle linked to my phone, as does my wife, fantastic value for money (MTN)! Would stay with them for a fibre contract but I live in a one horse town and unfortunately they aren't a provider. Can't go wrong with them!

Thank you Afrihost. My experience with you this far is very good. No problems out of the ordinary, just normal hiccups along the road, what is normal. Coz we are living in a fallen world and can't expect everything must always be smoothly and perfect. You keep up with the amazing work and you will definitely get more happy and pleased clients.

New to Afrihost. And the service is quick easy without any fuss!! I come from another ISP and there is too much red tape. I hope that Afrihost will continue with this type of service I appreciate the good service.

I've been with Afrihost for almost 11 years and they have made it easy to do business with them, most of the functions you need can be done via the app or the website. Their recent Whatsapp support line also has made it easier to resolve any matters that arise.

I had such a good experience with Siphiwe from Afrihost. He was very helpful and patient and sorted out a longstanding problem the same day. I can highly recommend Afrihost.

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.
