I set up my parents fibre account. The fibre was installed by vumatel and Afrihost their ISP. As Afrihost wasn’t open, I tried the WhatsApp function. Germaine was the person helping me on the other end. He/She was really professional, helpful and we managed to set up the fibre and get everything working in no time. Really GREAT service. Thank you!

I’ve moved homes several times, and getting fibre up and running has always been a headache. It usually took more than a week, and I never once had it working on the same day I moved in. This time, with Afrihost and Openserve, the experience was completely different. Afrihost kept me in constant communication with regular updates, so I always knew what was happening. On the actual moving day, there was even a missing cable — and they had a technical agent on-site within 2 hours to fix it! I was honestly blown away. Everything was running smoothly the same day I moved in. Their service, reliability, and responsiveness truly set them apart. Afrihost is hands down the best ISP in South Africa.

Excellent service every time. The consultants are always super quick to answer and solve any problem with professional service. That's why I always come back to Afrihost.

I had a problem with my debit order payments and used WhatsApp to interact with one of Afrihost's technicians. His name is Larry and found him to be knowledgeable and had patience with my repetitive questions.

Thorough, patient, on time, each encounter has been great even when asking what may seem obvious to some people, I appreciated the patience in understanding what was needed and speedy assistance.

I highly recommend Afrihost , I’ve been with them now for a year, struggled through loadshedding and my wife working from home with them, I’ve always had the best and extremely quick customer service with them. Only cancelled now due to relocation and installation cost with frogfoot being a bit high. If a free installation package becomes available I will definitely be switching back. All the best.

Such a great experience. Hosting and all things IT can be so overwhelming. Afrihost have done a sterling job to make the process easy and the WhatsApp contact feature is super cool. Maria is a gem as well.

I’ve been a client of Afrihost’s for years and have had only good and excellent service from them. They are fast, friendly, professional and their systems are easy to use. They are communicate and it feels like I’m dealing with people and not a company. I have not had such consistent quality experience from any other service provider. And from the last research I did, they have competitive prices. I highly recommend them.

Getting started with Pure DSL

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.
