Afrihost is great if you are persistent with them else they don’t follow up with a new client to ensure that the customer is sorted. However their WhatsApp communication line is outstanding and your problems are immediately tackled there.

Afrihost is simply the best. Do not even think about Mweb they are nonsense. Afrihost is very timely in their response sometimes even on weekends. Their app is efficient as well. Top ups are fast and easy to do. Very good company to trust.

I have been having afrihost account for over ten years now and their service is exceptional. I have not many words to express it except that AFRIHOST should be the government

Great backup and sales services. Great speeds. Easy to navigate website. (Use Ctrl + scroll to navigate application form.) I'm on LTE and I'm getting on average 50mbps but it does go to 90mbps sometimes. I'm in JHB south where there is no ADSL or fiber available. Hope you install it first. I do recommend Afrihost.

I have been with Afrihost since 2018 and I couldn't be happier. Always have internet and very helpful and professional when I've phoned them, for whatever reason. Would definitely recommend them

Always a WhatsApp away and always determined to help me! I am certainly not tech savvy but Afrihost ALWAYS gets to the bottom of my VERY FEW issues. Usually my own fumble with cables 😂

Outstanding Experience with Afrihost! From start to finish, Afrihost delivered exceptional service. Ordering our 5G package online was incredibly easy, the process was smooth, intuitive, and we were guided every step of the way with no hassles. The router was pre-configured before delivery, so all we had to do was plug it in and connect. We've been enjoying excellent, uninterrupted service ever since, and it's surprisingly affordable too! Delivery was lightning-fast, the router arrived the very next day. The courier from CourierIT was absolutely amazing. We had a medical emergency and missed the delivery, but they called later to check if my son was okay, asked if we were home, and offered to deliver it within minutes. Their friendliness and compassion meant so much during a stressful moment. Afrihost and their delivery partner truly went above and beyond. Highly recommended for anyone looking for reliable internet, outstanding customer care, and a seamless setup experience!

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.
