I've walked a long road with Afrihost, we've had our ups and downs. I must say that things are going very well these days. Support is fast and good. All has been going well for some time now and I am happy.

The Whatsapp is a great improvement, takes the emotion out of it. Afrihost training must be good as their call centre staff is of the best. Through all my dealings with Afrihost, over the last few years, I have never had a concern and there team’s professionalism, skipping the chit chat getting the job is commendable.

We moved over to Afrihost on a friends recommendation about 8 years ago, and have never looked back or regretted the move. Fantastic service, zero down time, specials/promotions happen often, Their 'clientzone' interface is intuitive and easy to use/manage your account. It's simply the best ISP I've been with (I've had my fair share of others), and I'm looking forward to many more years with Afrihost. Thanks to everyone at Afrihost that has made our experience this good so far!

Sometimes, there are hiccups as in any human-designed and manufactured product or system, but in general I am very satisfied with Afrihost's service and complaint response time and resolution.

Afrihost might be the only ISP that really has its support offering working well. I've used it a few times, and they always get me sorted quickly. What more is there to say?

I just had the best chat experience ever with Afrihost WhatsApp chat with a Lady called Nkosana. She answered every question fully, she explained things that I didn't understand. I'm exceptionally pleased with Afrihost as a product and with regard to their service. Thank Nkosana and Afrihost!

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
