Moved over from Web Africa. Couldn't be happier. Thank you. Normally I wouldn't compare competitors in a review, but I have had colleagues and neighbours say the same thing!

Kgalhisho was extremely helpful, professional, and quick to respond throughout the conversation. The issue was investigated promptly, updates were communicated clearly, and expectations were set appropriately. I especially appreciated the friendly attitude and willingness to assist with additional questions. Overall, an excellent support experience and a credit to the Afrihost support team.

Afrihost has been absolutely brilliant. Clear products, fair pricing, and support that actually knows what they’re doing. Setup was straightforward, and when I needed help, the response was quick and helpful, no being passed around or spoken to like an idiot. In an industry where service usually disappoints, Afrihost is a breath of fresh air. Reliable, professional, and genuinely easy to deal with. From application to completion, everything was done online and completed in a matter of minutes. Highly recommended.

Afrihost has been my ISP of choice for many years now and I can say with no doubt in my mind that the service they provide is not only efficient but excellent as well. I would highly recommend Afrihost to everyone I know.

Highly recommend Afrihost. They provide a much better service (and more affordable) than MTN themselves. I also really appreciate the free monthly 1GB data every month. 😁

I had an amazing experience working with Gildo at Afrihost! He was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly understood my concerns. My Wi-Fi connection had been giving me trouble for a while, and Gildo didn't give up until we found a solution. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated to providing excellent customer service. I truly appreciate his persistence and kindness. Highly recommend Gildo for his outstanding support!

My very first interaction with Afrihost and my am I a happy chappy. That is definately an understatement. I am rather techno challenged, I have recently signed up with Afrihost, you are able to communicate with them via whatsapp. I did so and shortly after I sent my msg, Nompumelelo responded. She showed me where I could find my information that I was looking for and then continued to check to see that I was assisted. Imagine me, an older lady from the stix that is techno challenged and they were able to help me in no time. I am impressed. Thank you Afrihost.

Even though I had to wait over 2 weeks for my router to be delivered so went there personal. If the staff was so helpful and friendly I won't be giving them a 5 Star rating.

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, 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.
