Probably one of the best (if not the best) ISP in SA. Never had a bad experience with them. Customer service is on point and their online customer portal (ClientZone) works incredibly well when managing various links. Highly recommended.

Exceptional Support from Nkosana at Afrihost! I recently had the pleasure of receiving outstanding support from Nkosana at Afrihost, and I couldn't be more impressed. Nkosana's dedication to providing top-notch customer service truly stood out, and I want to take a moment to share my positive experience. From the moment I reached out with my Afrihost-related questions, Nkosana demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues at hand. Not only did he address my concerns promptly, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that I felt heard and supported throughout the entire interaction. Nkosana's expertise and professionalism were evident in his clear and concise explanations, making complex technical information easily understandable. He took the time to guide me through each step of the process, leaving no room for confusion or uncertainty. What sets Nkosana apart is not only his technical proficiency but also his friendly and personable approach. He made me feel like a valued customer, and his commitment to resolving my issues left a lasting positive impression. In a world where exceptional customer service is increasingly rare, Nkosana's dedication to excellence is truly commendable. Afrihost is fortunate to have such a skilled and customer-centric professional on their team. Thank you, Nkosana, for your outstanding support. Your commitment to excellence has not gone unnoticed, and I am grateful for the positive experience you provided. Keep up the fantastic work!

Afrihost has the best customer service. I've never waited long when needing assistance in sorting out a problem. The agents are friendly and very helpful. This is the happiest I've been with a fiber service provider.

My query was sorted in such a professional manner. The agent was so helpful and stayed on line with me till I was satisfied that all was well. Thank you so much. The what's app line is such a breathe of fresh air, no waiting for someone to respond to an email, in 2 to 4 days.

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.
