Afrihost takes client care to the next level. Their service is amazing, you are chatting to an actual human being who does not take hours to respond, but the conversation is like a normal flowing one. Very happy migrator.

What a wonderful, refreshing experience to actually interact with a Helpdesk on WhatsApp and you know your query is being attended to!! I am in process of moving over from terrible experience with my previous provider to Afrihost (after recommendation). I am very impressed thus far. Hoping installation will go just as quickly!!

I’m sorry to name drop but dealing with Telkom for the last 5 years was the worst experience! Switching to AfriHost for Wi-Fi in a remote small town was the best choice. I can’t thank these guys enough for the quick and easy service. You don’t have to beg and plead to get things done. THANK YOU!!!

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.
