Unbeatable Service! Going on almost a year now and have not experienced any drop in connections or faults. The best solution if you're looking for reliable home Fibre, they assist you in real time and cover every aspect of your package, Everything that telkom is not, and more! the mobile app and whatsapp assist line gives them the edge in customer satisfaction.

I've had an amazing experience with Afrihost! Their customer service is fast, friendly, and always helpful. The internet connection is reliable and consistent, and setup was smooth from the beginning. I really appreciate the transparency and how easy it is to manage everything from their app. Great value for money – I highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for quality service and peace of mind. Keep up the great work!

Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

After fibre network failure every device added to the router need a activation code. We needed to restart the system configuration from scratch. It was a lengthy process with patience from AfriHost. Very helpful service.

Afrihost has ALWAYS managed my challenges with the upmost professionalism and efficiency. Yes, there are the odd bad call, but they have never disappointed or underdelivered. Shout out to George, the most recent consultant, this dude was kwaai. Keep it up Afrihost, proudly South African.

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.
