I visited their Rivonia shop and was extremely impressed with the service. I was warmly welcomed, offered a drink, and assisted with great professionalism. They even went the extra mile by providing a cable to charge my phone when it was running low truly excellent customer service. Very clean environment!

Switched from Telkom to Afrihost. No regrets! They always communicate with you if theres an outage and outages are very seldom for just a few hours. Customer service and internet etc from Afrihost is the best in town. An added bonus is that you can communicate with them via whatsapp.

My experience thus far is that Afrihost seems to have competent client facing people. When you explain a problem they understand, communicate effectively and take active steps to resolve it. I've been able to get assistance without hassles or holding or anything like that. Their portal is very easy to navigate and gets updated regularly to keep you informed. The Afrihost system has its problems, for instance I was billed and received confirmation that my line is active, yet no installation had taken place. They fixed this promptly though. Overall I'm very satisfied with Afrihost and Compared to Vodacom, Afrihost is tops! This is mostly due to their communication and their customer service people being competent and easy to reach.

I would recommend using Afrihost as I found them to be as advertised, pure internet joy. We moved recently and the transition was seamless and was up and running in no time. My family and I appreciated it.

I've only just gotten my fibre router, awaiting install. But I must say that the whatsapp chat is excellent. My experience with Nonjabulo was really pleasant. She understood my query and assisted me in record time.

I migrated from a previous service provider to Afrihost. Didn't realise how easy it would be. As I started arranging a couple of days beforehand, the transition was smooth and very fast. Was very impressed with Afrihost.client care on whatsapp and collecting my new router. 10/10

We have been with Afrihost as our fiber supplier for six months now, and we couldn't be happier with their service. They have consistently provided us with excellent support and have been a pleasure to work with.

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.
