I was with a different ISP that was driving me insane if I needed assistance with service problems. Afrihost has blown me away with their friendly, knowledgeable and rapid service delivery. Afrihost is awesome

Maybe the best service provider in South Africa possibly the world. Any issues that I've faced have been resolved in a timely manner even as far as during early mornings (2am). They are always friendly and put you first. They offer total control over your account and subscription allowing you to upgrade and downgrade as your wallet allows. I recommend them to anyone that is in need of fast internet and service.

I love Afrihosts client service! I’ve always been helped speedily and they have always been friendly! Thank you Musa and Veronique. They also are human over the chat and I don’t feel like I’m talking to a chatbot. Would 11/10 recommend Afrihost.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
