Great service, never had problems with net work. And monthly data expires every other month so you never run out of data as a the new data add ontop of the last month data.

Excellent service! Ordered my router on a Monday and was able to collect it the next day! Installation and activation then happened on Wednesday. Highly recommend Afrihost because of its fast and reliable service.

I have used afrihost hosting for nearly a decade. Their agents are always happy to help, professional and understand their products compared to other companies I had the displeasure of dealing with.

We had problems with our Router rebooting at random. We then asked Afrihost if they can replace the router but unfortunately the warranty expired a year ago. I told Afrihost that I want to cancel because any other ISP will give me a free router if I sign up with them. A sales rep phoned me today very professionally telling me that they will give me a free router I just have to pay for delivery which is fine with me and bonus they will give me an extra month free of internet if I just stay with them!!! Really good service and really went the extra mile for me!!! thnx Afrihost well deserved 5 star!

I received my simcard, turned out it won't work on my router. Another package was then recommended that would work on my router. Thus, I don't need to purchase another router...saving me money. The customer service agent was absolutely great! Professional and quick service!

Afrihost is my choice for hosting as their service was the best. Will be moving all my business to them once other contracts finished with current suppliers.

I have been working with Afrihost for over two years now and they are consistent in terms of quality, value for money, professionalism...you name it. Guys you have been there for us when we had no clue what we expected from a website, you provided us with all resources needed for building own website and designs to suit us. Much appropriated team Afrihost, keep it up!!

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!

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.
