Afrihost always amazed me on innovation on a wide variety of services at very competitive prices. Apart from that, I am drawn to its user friendly site and app; it covers just about everything. Well done!

Super support! Always professional, patient, fight for you with infrastructure providers, communication good. Just idea sometimes consider or ask the customer or user are you technical in order to provide direct support. Small thing for an excellent ISP.

Been using Afrihost for close to two years now and still super happy. Their consultants are hands on and provide assistance in a professional and timely manner. Haven’t really had any connection issues ever since. Would definitely recommend them.

Afrihost has been managing my mobile resources and home wifi for quite a few years now and I have always had a good experience. I ported my number from one of the 'big two' cellular service providers who didn't give good customer service, and have never looked back. Calls are cheaper for me. And my account is essentially prepaid unlike the 2 year contracts I used to have.

Afrihost is the best ever, the consultants take their time to understand what exactly are you looking to be assisted with. They also go an extra mile in making recommendations to choose from to suite your needs.

Best internet service provider in South Africa! I have never had a single worry. The whatsapp chat line is quick and efficient. The app works excellent to view your invoices, usage and local faults. Everything you need to maintain your afrihost account in one simple app. Account payments are also done very easily and you receive updates on possible line faults in your area. If you are looking for a internet service provider, stop right here because you will not get any better. Keep it up Afrihost team!

Just had great service from Afrihost. My service was suspended but the problem (of my own making) was quickly resolved by Afrihost using their user friendly WhatsApp service. Bill

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. I loved the fact that I used to be a client of Afrihost's and didn't need to fill in any new applications or provide documentation for a fibre connection. Signing up took five minutes and installation about 30 minutes. What a breeze!

Afrihost has definitely got the most dynamic and outstanding customer experience in SA. Fibre issues are dealt with efficiently. In this day and age I have yet to find another organization that could compete with their excellence! Special mention to Boston for his kindness and efficiency.

Now this is 21st Century ISP! I am get pure Fibre, no shaping, no throttling, 30Mbps/30Mbps at R799, a super fast 3Gbps Wifi router for free and the application was all online within 5 minutes. No calls, no nonsense. Then for support they have an absolutely functioning whatsapp chat line with quality staff. I can say nothing bad about these guys.

Top-class service! I'd highly recommend them if you're shopping around for an internet service provider. I've been with them for 4 years and won't go anywhere else.

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.

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.
