Afrihost Client services is exceptional and so far the staff members I have interacted with from the beginning of my subscription (Nkosinathi, Samantha, Rhudzani, Lerato, Michaela etc), have given first class services. Had a bit of a glitch with my subscription cancellation error, and they fix3d my issue with deligence. Their roaming capacity is fast and they have packages to suit any budget for the masses.

The support I received from Afrihost was exceptional. Specifically, Zanele provided outstanding assistance in helping me successfully change my Wi-Fi password. The entire process was completed efficiently in under six minutes.

Always get timely assistance. Much better service than my previous service provider. I've been using afrihost for years for hosting and now will be switching over to theor fibre as well. Will always recommend. The WhatsApp chat function is also very easy and convenient to use.

Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

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!

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.
