Afrihost is doing their best to make sure that they cover all their client base through all available platforms. The WhatsApp initiative was the best and i trust with time, they will be able to have dedicated agents to attend to WhatsApp queries ontime.

Afrihost have been amazing in my area, I have been with them for many years now and I have been down maybe four days in total. When other people are complaining that they are down on Frogfoot I am up with no issues thanks to Afrihost, best ISP in the country, hands down.

I have now issues with Afrihost and they help me quickly when I have queries. They are affordable and easy to communicate with. The only downside is the app doesn't work if my data is up, but luckily I can phone then and recharge that way.

On the whole a good ISP - no one has 100% connectivity so there will always be a few issues. But Afrihost are a good ISP for our home office needs.

We have been with Afrihost for over 7 years. It’s safe to say that we are family now. We love the support centre on WhatsApp and the overall experience with WiFi and data usage. I would recommend Afrihost to many.

I"ve been with Afrihost since 2018. Outstanding customer service! They were the first to respond- My current service provider -Mweb were too slow to transfer/upgrade me from adsl to fibre.

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.
