All round wonderful service and connectivity! Thank you Afrihost! Its not often that a service provider is 'easy-peasy' - it normally ends in a battle, BUT NOT WITH AFRIHOST!

Afrihost is next level. Don't waste time shopping around or settling for less. The Support Staff are amazing. The Support processes are well thought out. The ClientZone is unparalleled with its feature rich UI with amazing user experience.

I recently signed up for a mobile data sim, as I need mobile internet for my remote work, and the entire process took less than 3 days to complete. Afrihost staff were sincere & professional in helping me set up my account & get internet connection - no complaints; they’re worth your visit!

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.

The WhatsApp support service is great. I've had my queries resolved every time, all without the hassle of waiting on hold for a call operator.

Moved property recently and had to put Afrihost on hold for a few months. At new property had to get fibre into the house. Afrihost helped with the new sign up process and made the whole process effortless. Great service via WhatsApp.

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.

Best customer service! I used to be with WebAfrifa where they took days to respond to my issues. Afrihost responds and resolves within minutes.

My very first interaction with Afrihost and my am I a happy chappy. That is definately an understatement. I am rather techno challenged, I have recently signed up with Afrihost, you are able to communicate with them via whatsapp. I did so and shortly after I sent my msg, Nompumelelo responded. She showed me where I could find my information that I was looking for and then continued to check to see that I was assisted. Imagine me, an older lady from the stix that is techno challenged and they were able to help me in no time. I am impressed. Thank you Afrihost.

Afrihost service is really tops. Love how they're available on WhatsApp and are quick to respond and helpful. They have never given me any good reason to consider any other provider and they just keep up the good work. Awesome.

I refuse to use anyone else for internet. I have always had the best service you can possibly get! Even the people that are installing the lines go above and beyond to get the job done quickly and efficiently. Don't bother with anyone else

Fantastic service before and after installation I had problem twice and it was dealt with efficiently and they contacted me to confirm my issues were resolved ......other ISPs tend to focus on WhatsApp groups that leave u in a waiting list forever Afrihost has a working WhatsApp group and a callback feature which is amazing as I received the help I needed

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.

General questions

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.
