Unbelievably good service via whats app - equivalent to having a person sitting right next to me. In today’s world, having a human to help is a wonder thing.

Took a bit of back and forth between Afrihost and Octotel. At the end of the 3 days, I had my WiFi on the go again. Thank you Musa, Wayde and Themba

Whenever there is a connection issue, it is resolved quickly, even when the fault is with one of the fibre providers. After a recent lightning storm, the router was struck. Afrihost client support did everything they could from their side to confirm where the issue could be. Diagnosis steps are easy to follow and suggestions are clear and worthwhile. Connectivity is restored quickly and is always up to the specified speeds. Problems will happen but the attitude that Afrihost has proves that they are the best.

Absolutely thrilled with the exceptional service provided by Tshilidzi at Afrihost! From the moment I reached out for assistance, Tshilidzi went above and beyond to ensure all my queries were answered promptly and effectively. Their knowledge and expertise were evident as they navigated through my issues with ease, providing clear explanations and practical solutions. Not only was the support incredibly efficient, but Tshilidzi also exhibited a warm and friendly demeanor that made the entire experience pleasant. It's rare to encounter such dedication and commitment to customer satisfaction. I genuinely felt valued as a customer, and it's this level of service that sets Afrihost apart from the rest. I can’t recommend Tshilidzi highly enough—definitely a 10-star experience! Thank you for making my day brighter!

I was just assisted by a Consultant Lesley M, and he was the most helpful person and turned my negative experience into a positive end result. I was really happy with my service. Best service provider by far.

My five-star rating is for the interaction regarding my order with Afrihost. I can't yet rate the actual internet and its reliability. I will do another rating once I have used the service for a month.

Been with Afrihost since 2010. Never had any issues with the service from this top class team! I can recommend Afrihost to anyone that want to get their internet sorted out in no time at all. Their client zone platform is simple, well laid out and easy to use. Prices are super affordable for what I required and they deliver on their promises. Period.

Outstanding service - thank you Afrihost! - we have fibre for almost a year now and we couldn’t be happier. Very little, if any downtime, usually resolved in a couple of hours. Exceptional customer support. 10/10 would recommend to all my friends and family.

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.
