Here's what our say

We have been with Afrihost for over a decade, using a range of their services, from early ADSL in Jhb, to fixed wireless and fibre in the Western Cape. At times we were forced to use several other ISPs for short periods and none of the others measure up to Afrihost in all aspects, some may match or beat their price but none match them in all aspects. Their service and products remain the best. Their customer service, products, and pricing has always been the best in SA and remains so today.

Have always been impressed with service from Afrihost. After almost 2 decades I'm sad to cancel service. If I can in the future I'll happily reinstate.

Truly the best service provider I have ever dealt with. The monthly feedback is exceptional. The customer service is exceptional. The quality in products are exceptional. Overall, exceptional company to do business with.

INCREDIBLE SERVICE! For the first time since our installation our fibre line went off. So on a Sunday morning I tried out the Whatsapp Service and spoke to Thulanie. He was very helpful but I wasn't expecting a solution at least for a few days... 3 hours didn't pass when Thabang (the technician) phoned me and said he was at my gate. He was kind and most helpful. I'm beyond grateful that our line was fixed at such a speedy pace and with such a great attitude from both Thulanie and Thabang. This gives me so much hope for our country!

I’ve been with afrihost for 15 years and prior to that, webafrica, one and the same. I’ve had pleasant experiences with support calls and always a willingness to help from all the team. And no, I don’t work or know anyone personally, so this is all my genuine experience. Keep being awesome guys and I’ll keep recommending you as a provider, if not the best.

Have tried many other internet providers, this provider is by far the most supportive with the most competitive speeds for price. The fibre is top notch 👌

Afrihosts service were absolutely brilliant with sorting out my new application for fibre and the urgency that it was needed. Well done on your customer service and to Kamohelo for his help with understanding my request and getting it sorted out.

Been with Afrihost since 2018 for Fibre. Best ISP I've experienced. I also make use of their domain parking and airmobile services and plan to make use of more of their services in future. I also found them to be decently priced.

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.
