I used to make use of Afrihost until 2016 and left them due to poor service. I were then recommended to use them again and went in to fetch my Router. WOW Great service, friendly and so so helpful. Well done Afrihost Management. Excellent service

Always quick to help with connectivity issues and changes (Whatsapp, call, email etc). Pleasure doing business with Afrihost. Would 10/10 recommend to anyone in South Africa.

I've used Afrihost since I first managed to get ADSL in our area years back, and then upgraded when fibre became available. Throughout that time, upgrading / downgrading / topping up / support / queries / fault reporting / new services , have all been super easy and painless. You don't feel like a helpless pleb in a big machine, but rather in control of your choices. Thank you Gian ( a marketing genius if ever I saw one)

Afrihost's support and online self manage system works so well that I will not even consider using a different web host or fibre service provider. Service always trumps prices although their prices are still very good.

I am very impressed with Afrihost's excellent service. I can't believe they delivered and installed my fibre in less than two days. Thank you! I highly recommend Afrihost to everyone.

I was helped very fast and understood the process of changing my bank details for debit purposes. The agent was very kind and helpful and made me feel very secured.

Have had my fair share of bad experience with ISPs but I’m glad to commend both VUMA and Afrihost for a really speedy fault logging and resolution. I had connectivity drop completely on Friday evening. Logged a call via WhatsApp on Saturday morning, the Afrihost technician was very polite and I got a reply indicating it would be attended to within 3 working days. Quite a bummer given we work from home. Literally 2 hours later, a VUMA technician was on site. He troubleshooted for about 3 hours and then suggested he come back the following day to try one more option. He came back on Sunday and confirmed the problem was a configuration one. This morning, Monday, I gave the feedback to Afrihost and Jehan assisted in reconfig and voila I’m sorted. I was impressed with the quick responses and commitment to solving the problem. Thanks to both VUMA and Afrihost.

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!!

Service is fast. Packages are so affordable that one will think it is a scam. Well Afrihost is legit. Signal is better even though it received from another network's infrastructures. Great service.

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!

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

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.
