Had an issue with my internet connection, on a Sunday morning of all days, and the response from the Afrihost Whatsapp Support Service was immediate, professional and efficient. This was also the first time I had to log an issue after years of being an Afrihost client, and I was treated with respect and professionalism. Thank you for taking such good care of your customers and making us feel valued. Your service is excellent.

A very profient and reliable internet service provider. They're always just a WhatsApp message away, with experienced, skilled, patient and friendly staff to guide you on whatever your query may be. In a world where many companies don't prioritise after-sales care...Afrihost and their staff gets it spot on. Reliable, stable, internet connection, I've never had a problem since connected with Afrihost

The best fibre provider around. I moved over from Web Africa about 2 years ago because of their poor customer service. Afrihost truly outshines them with instant customer service! I've never had a problem.

Afrihosts Support system has been excellent, their communication with clients is taken really seriously with high priority, something I appreciated from a supplier.

Afrihost privides good WhatsApp service. Knowlegeable people with quick responses. Awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻However, I still do not understand why they switched to Frogfoot in my area. It was for the worse and not for the better. When it rains, the WiFi service often goes for a loop. Seems water is Frogfoot's headache. Their response times to reports of service being down also is not pleasant. Two days for a response before they even start looking at the problem? Not on, sorry, I am a positive person but sometimes frustration gets to a person.😔☹

I've been a client of Afrihost in the past and came back because they are the best. Their customer service is on point and I have never been disappointed in their levels of service delivery and assistance turn-over time. Thank you Afrihost for being amazing always!

Afrihost has been my cost-effective Internet Service Provider of choice for a few years and the mobile wireless connection has always been fast and reliable; the accounts and invoices clear and prompt; and service responses to queries when required efficient. I am sorry to be having to leave them due to failure of the Network provider and no exact replica available through their offerings .

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.

Shaping and prioritisation

No, all Pure DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
