Afrihost has been around for sometime now, before wifi became fashionable. The agents are quite knowlegeable and patient. Very good service from Afrihost

I am a long-time Afrihost client and besides for a wobble in their call center back in 2018 I think, they’ve been wonderful. “Customer-centric” Highly recommended.

I have been with Afrihost since 2013 and never had bad experience. I do all my data through Afrihost. I have 10Gig of data on my phone a month for only R150, and I think it is a very good deal. My data doesn't disappear like other people. The best service provider for me and my friends that use Afrihost now. 20 day + 20 knight data for my router at only R119, is a good price for me. Thanks Gian and your staff that make this possible.

Always extra mile to assist. The customer chat service has really improved to cater for the need of us customers with the many faults that keep popping up

One of a small handful of IPv6 providers and it works. No issues or begging for details. I'm not a big fan of using bots, but I get to a real agent that has never failed to be polite or understanding. Thank you

😭 I love you guys. This is first world customer service delivered with human compassion and a genuine desire to assist the client. I'd run around their head quarters high-fiving and hugging the staff because they try harder. Other telecommunications companies might think to take a note from their business model, cough cough Telkom...😑

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.
