I am pleased and happy with their excellent customer service. The entire process took approximately three days, way less than i expected, especially during the festive season. They guided me throughout the entire process and made sure that i get high quality customer service and connection. I highly recommend Afrihost as they followup on all your enquiries.

Of all the internet service providers I've been with before, Afrihost is by far the best this far. Undoubtedly the best wireless internet provider in South Africa. The network speeds, amazing! Customer service, real time response! What more can you ask for?

Outstanding service from Afrihost, consistently. After struggling with my previous fibre provider, Waiting 6 weeks for them to relocate my services to a new address, I decided to cancel and try Afrihost. I had fibre in my home 48 hours later and I’ve been happy ever since. Keep it that way team Afrihost.

Always trust Afrihost as a service provider on my fibre installation. In the 2 years I've had them, I have never encountered any negative feedback. Ease of access to my accounts. Reliable billing. Always a phone call and WhatsApp away. Thank you Afrihost, have and will continue to recommend you to family and friends. Keep up the great work! In these trying times!

Excellent experience - 2 years of uninterrupted high speed internet. Zero issues. Hard to believe but yes it’s true. Great client zone, easy payment, easy to cancel service when we moved.

It's always such a pleasure dealing with all Afrihost consultants. Though we were texting, I could sense the tone of sincerity with Phumeza. The problem isn't an Afrihost one, but she went beyond to assist me and report the matter to VumaTel as well as getting me my reference number. Thank you

Amazing service, afrihost might be a bit pricey but it's worth every cent, I've had absolutely 0 issues with them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I'm sure you're reading this and thinking "this review sounds too good to be true" that's cause that's how good afrihost is.

Other service providers can definitely learn a thing or two from Afrihost. Great service, affordable, support ANY time of day or night, always friendly. Value added services are on point. Thanks Afrihost.

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.
