Reliable, easy self-service, never had any issues with accounts, billing etc. Signed up with them once and it just keeps on working. Best hosting service in SA!

In the 7 years that I have been a client, I have only had two days that the fiber was out due to a connection of the actually. I have added more lines and they seem to be the quickest of the ISPs for new installation in new areas additionally I have never had any admin issues with billing or other problems that arise from dealing with Openserve (in all my cases)

I had some hick-ups when upgrading my account which saw me without internet for a week but Afrihost resolved the problem and from there on I enjoy great connectivity at the correct speed.

Have been using them for over 10 years now. Had a few issues along the way but they were always able to sort it out quickly and have always been available to assist. Would definitely recommend them.

I've been with Afrihost since we started our company in the early 2000's. I've never felt frustrated or not looked after and the online 'clientzone' is amazing for managing hosting, emails etc.

After some time away as a customer, I am returning to the ISP that first got me connected, this time to use their relaunched AirMobile service. So far, my interactions with the service agents has been very favourable.

Afrihost has been around for sometime now, before wifi became fashionable. The agents are quite knowlegeable and patient. Very good service from Afrihost

Switching ISPs was a breeze. Very efficient service from Afrihost. The same day my line was disconnected, they managed to switch on my new line. Great service.

Awesome services and products. Support pre-sale, during delivery and after sales support is excellent. This is based being a customer for 10+ years.

Is it possible that I change my debit date to the 25th of every month. My current debit order is in an awkward date and I sometimes do not have funds for it on that day

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.
