What more can i say!?? Just migrated to Afrihost today and I already KNOW that this was the best decision I have made. From start to finish 100% recommendable. Everyone I have spoken to was so friendly and helpful. Only one regret… I should have done it SOONER. Thank you AFRIHOST for making it so easy… And affordable!!! Best Regards Vicky

I have been using Afrihost for years now to host websites. I have now also decided to AirMobile and wow, it has been a surprisingly good experience. From really good connection quality to really affordable data bundles, I would absolutely recommend Afrihost for hosting and definitely to switch to as your cellular provider.

I have not been able to rate every agent I spoke to but the whole team is top notch! Even the courier company is proactive. Highly recommend this provider.

Easily the best ISP out there. Quick and prompt responses, you can pick up the phone during working hours and get assistance immediately. App and website works efficiently and human to human interaction communication over what’s up makes it a 6 out of 5 rating 👌🏾

Very good and it saves money from buying lot of airtime. The only issue is that am unable to restore my zoiper account as I deleted it by mistake.

In these days of bot-chatting where you get all the wrong answers to a question, it remains refreshing to be able to always speak with a real person at Afrihost. I sadly have to cancel my subscription because I am moving to an estate where connectivity is part of the service offering by the estate. I can only hope that I will receive the same level of excellent service.

Afrihost is an amazing Company, with excellent client service, before and after. I will happily advertise and share my own experience with anyone who is interested and looking for a good Company to do their business with. THANK YOU AFRIHOST AND YOUR ENTIRE TEAM, YOURE THE BEST!

Always a WhatsApp away and always determined to help me! I am certainly not tech savvy but Afrihost ALWAYS gets to the bottom of my VERY FEW issues. Usually my own fumble with cables 😂

The service from Afrihost is absolutely amazing with very efficient and friendly consultants. Nokwanda was a superstar and assisted me immediately. I promote Afrihost to everyone wherever I go, as they are the best fibre provider and deserve all the credit they get. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I’ve moved homes several times, and getting fibre up and running has always been a headache. It usually took more than a week, and I never once had it working on the same day I moved in. This time, with Afrihost and Openserve, the experience was completely different. Afrihost kept me in constant communication with regular updates, so I always knew what was happening. On the actual moving day, there was even a missing cable — and they had a technical agent on-site within 2 hours to fix it! I was honestly blown away. Everything was running smoothly the same day I moved in. Their service, reliability, and responsiveness truly set them apart. Afrihost is hands down the best ISP in South Africa.

Excellent service on the Afrihost Whatsapp messenging system. Thulani guided me through a tricky process and even sorted out some additional issues with patience and friendliness. 11/10

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.
