Brilliant service provider I honestly only have praise for the level of service provided on each Interaction. Technicians are professional and understanding And nu.erous ways of reaching them for queries makes it a pleasure dealing with them

Everyone online: Try Bluehost. Yep. Minimum one year contract. Afrihost: Just pay for whatever is left over of the month! Then monthly. No contract. And cheap. The Whatsapp help is great, and friendly. And their data is cheap and available in many formats. Where I live, LTE data with MTN is available. Also no contract. Beat that Bluehost, Hostinger, whatever. But hey, it's South African. What do you expect.

I am many years at Afrihost and is a very happy customer. I use or used, fibre, hosting, lte fixed, mobile prepaid and adsl (earlier years) and was always happy. What I also like is the WhatsApp customer service and their App is really useful.

Afrihost's Support is the BEST probally in the worls, all their Agents are both Professional & Helpfull, Afrihost just needs to match the prices offered by Webafrica Whose Customer support is disapointing and they would have everyone come to Afrihost. I regret moving to webafrica because i dint know how bad their support is till it was too late, but because of the price difference i had to stay for now, im eagerly watching Afrihost's prices, as soon as they match what im geting at webafrica, i ill definately move.

Good quality service. I had an issue with my line, but The whatsapp option to raise issues is awesome. Feedback is provided very quickly and my issues resolved within less than 15 minutes. No issues from my side. Rarely do we have internet issues or experience long periods of downtime.

Great service. But the admin panel could be more user-friendly, with a better UX and UI and more helpful videos and instructions on what to do. But then the WhatsApp services were great, and they helped me with all I needed. So that balances out the old User interface. Thanks ;-)

With the lack of service in SA, receiving superb service from Afrihost has been such a nice surprise. I ordered by fibre line on Thursday, Monday morning 8h00 Vumatel was here to install and the line was immediately live.

Had an issue with fibre (woke up and there was no internet). Reached out on WhatsApp to the afrihost customer chat and I was helped within a few minutes. My fibre is now up and running. Thank you!

Thulani N is hands down the best customer service rep you have!! His technical support was fantastic, if he didn’t have the answer he would find out and assist me within 2 min! Thanks Thulani!

I whish Afrihost can share their secret to deliver excellent service to the world. We can all follow suit. I have never experienced such an excellent service. Even saying excellent service is an under statement..... There's no words to describe their service.

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
