Ricky was absolutely amazing—fast, clear, and incredibly efficient. He gave me accurate, helpful information that got me unstuck and allowed me to complete my registration without any stress. This was hands down the best customer service experience I’ve ever had in my life!

I've had Afrihost as my host for my website for years and I highly recommend! They are so helpful when you have any questions! I am not tech-educated at all and get a lot of guidance from them!

I am extremely satisfied with the service I received from Afrihost today. I ordered a fibre package with Afrihost today and the fibre line was installed on the same day! I am now just waiting for my router to be delivered. I received constant feedback during the day via email and I am really impressed with how quickly everything went. Thank you!

To be honest I have had issues but that was my fault for trying to do my own thing. Greatly recommend for the fact that Afrihost keeps you updated. If there is any issue it gets resolved. Yes there is a signal issue at times but that is due to where we have our wifi positioned. We should have listened when we were advised where to place it. My fault again. Not theirs. Thank you Afrihost. Very happy with the speed of the wifi especially when searching and viewing or even on our laptops. Very happy. Finally we have a wifi that keeps us happy. Keep up the great services. To you and your staff. Thank you.

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.
