So far great experience. Connected within 2 days. Could have been earlier if I was available. When I had a problem, the Whatsapp agent Nonjabulo S stayed with me until the problem was resolved. She was very patient.

Consistently, upon every opportunity, provides services a step above the rest, building a rock solid public perception. One of SA’s best companies for sure.

Their whatsapp assistant is fast and reliable. One of their agent by the name of Vuyo M, he went beyond to what I was expecting and assisted me, he kept asking if I was still there and solved my problem on the go. We need more people like Vuyo.

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.

Best connection so far. Communication is swift and easy. I definitely have peace of mind. I just wish they could bring fiber to hammanskraal.

I was helped very fast and understood the process of changing my bank details for debit purposes. The agent was very kind and helpful and made me feel very secured.

I have not had a single day of problems with them. All my queries are resolved immediately and they stay in communication with you untill everything is resolved to your satisfaction. Highly recommend using them. Prices are also extremely competitive. Hands down best provider.

Exceptional Service from Nonjabulo Thank you for your help in resolving a very technically challenging issue. I would like to acknowledge her immense input in getting the matter resolved. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of “troubleshooting at home” with me. Her attitude towards her work is on an entirely different level. Good going! I am sure is a valuable member of your customer service team.

The WhatsApp consultants are always very helpful, patient and professional. My matters are always resolved. I've been with Vuma and Afrihost for more than 5 years and won't change.

I’ve experienced intermittent interruptions, which I would say is normal considering WIFI in general. However, the WhatsApp help is unmatched. I’ve spoken to Raymond M, Vutisani M and Happiness R; all three were professional, quick and extremely helpful. They match your energy and help you with detailed instructions and great patience. Even with interruptions, the customer care is real and that makes a huge difference. Thanks, Afrihost!

Doesn't matter how many other ISPs I've tried in the last 30 years, I always seem to come back to Afrihost. Great support via MyBB forums as well. Just migrated 5 FTTH lines to Afrihost.

Super amazing to deal with this company. Problems almost don't seem to be problems. Fixed my issue in a flash. Been a customer for almost 6 years and only had to contact them twice for help. Both times an amazing experience, problems sorted in a flash.

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.

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.
