Just moved across to Afrihost. Excellent service and very painless. Prefer the online comms as one gets answered quickly and not like left on hold / call cut off like other companies.

Been with Afrihost for 17 years, never had a problem - always informative and reliable. Prices very competitive and are upgraded for better value at no extra cost.

Afrihost has been managing my mobile resources and home wifi for quite a few years now and I have always had a good experience. I ported my number from one of the 'big two' cellular service providers who didn't give good customer service, and have never looked back. Calls are cheaper for me. And my account is essentially prepaid unlike the 2 year contracts I used to have.

Afrihost as an ISP overall, gets no star. However these stars are for Neo M. She is absolutely amazing and if I had a company, I would employ her at the drop of a hat. She has restored my faith in your call centre and went above and beyond to help me. Wow! Love you Neo! You've just made my day. You will achieve great things and should be promoted to top level management, and replace the current CEO. Afrihost is a better place, just by having you there. Godspeed.

A big heads up to 'Tutu' for brilliant customer care! He persevered with my problem for almost two hours and helped me through, step by step! What an amazing Representative for Afrihost. Well done and thank you Tutu! Lynne Hampson

I will recommend Afrihost ANYTIME. They are always available for support, whether its their technical department or accounts/admin department. They will stay on the line and guide you step by step until you are sorted, whether its a technical problem or admin issue. They can call me back if I need them to. They are just perfect. I am using the uncapped data in my phone and I've got data everywhere I go, limitless.

I've been using Afrihost for years, and I have yet to have any issue. In the rare case that I do require assistance, they are always avaible to help and deliver the service with a smile, without any issue. No lengthy waiting, service is the best I've every had from any ISP. 100% would recommend.

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.
