Afrihost agents are always helpful and knowlegeable about what they do. The customer service is quick and effecient, they assist you with any matter within a matter of minutes.

I am struggling for 4 days with Supersonic with no luck!! I will never ever recommend them. I have contacted Afrihost and immediately got service and excellent service too. I will definitely recommend Afrihost to anybody, especially for working moms doing meetings and homeschooling in lockdown where you need internet

I have been using Afrihost for over 10 years, and I have always been pleased with their service. Despite a lot of ISPs to choose from, I have not been able to find a reason to bother looking others.

Afrihost and AirMobile is by far the best service provider. The network WORKS, their app is simple, user friendly and it WORKS, their WhatsApp helpline also WORKS. I love having a service provider that actually does what they say they will do.

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, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

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.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.
