I have no complaints, setting up my domains was so easy and their WhatsApp Web Chat service is so effective and professional. Issues are attended to and resolved so efficiently and most importantly their agents are so helpful and patient. Stellar customer service!

I have just moved from Vox to Afrihost due to terrible customer service at Vox and I am pleased to say that the service I have received from Afrihost has been AMAZING. My line was installed the next day and there were people on hand to assist at all times. Good customer service is hard to come by but Afrihost has definitely restored my faith. THANKS AFRIHOST!!!

The Afrihost hosting team helped me restore a website backup after 10pm on a Friday night, well outside of their working hours. This is above and beyond the call of duty and I'm very happy with their support, whether via email, whatsapp or phone. Thanks guys, you're always there to help!

I've been with Afrihost since 2016. I've recommended them to many friends and family members, many whom have since switched and are extremely happy with having made the switch. Their customer service is great and I've experienced very little down time over the years. I will always highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking to change ISP's.

Afrihost have exceeded my expectations in terms of the quality of their internet services / connectivity and above all, their customer relation, as you speak to real humans, not robots, and the customer care support are also professional based on how they address queries.

A lot of ISPs are at the mercy of Fiber providers, most I would guess. AfriHost’s WhatsApp support makes it way more bearable when you are faced with delays from the Fiber provider. Thanks to Refentse M for the great support!

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.

Once you’ve signed up for a Pure DSL package, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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.
