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 love you guys. This is first world customer service delivered with human compassion and a genuine desire to assist the client. I'd run around their head quarters high-fiving and hugging the staff because they try harder. Other telecommunications companies might think to take a note from their business model, cough cough Telkom...😑

Afrihost is a reliable internet service provider in Gauteng Province, South Africa. The customer service is excellent as well. Will definitely use the service again when I return to the country.

As a new business I decided to use Afrihost as my website service provider, I however made the mistake not to order the correct package, Thulani assisted me on whatsapp and it did not even take 10 minutes to correct the mistake I made. I am so impressed, such customer service deserves more than just 5 stars.

Zinhle took me through all the loops (amidst multitasks on my side and a chorus of kids wanting wifi access) until the matter was resolved. A ten 10 to you Zee!!

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.
