Afrihost is a very reliable business their customer service support is top tier. I chatted with one of their agents over WhatsApp regarding my fibre line interruption. The very next morning a team was sent and resolved my issue. It turns out the guys that mow our lawn had cut through the fibre wire that runs through the box on the outside.

Customer service is on point. Everytime I've had an issue with my line I would send an email or chat via whatsapp and my issue was resolved very quickly.

If you're tired of being tired, by these large cellphone companies, in 'South Africa', why don't you give, 'Afrihost' a try. Have come to an end of a two year contract, with one of the largest cellphone companies in 'South Africa'. Now, looking for a month to month deal. 'Afrihost', depending on your particular area and thus, cell / signal coverage, offers fantastic products and service. Their pricings are competitive, they utilise well versed and skilled, sales and back office personal. And every time that I need to communicate with one of their professionals, I'm always reassured and leave with total peace of mind. Well done. Keep it up. Thank you.

I have been a customer for over 8 years now, and never has a problem not been solved with 30mins. Basically, you get in touch, they do their magic and most of the time your problem is solved within minutes. Industry leading customer service! By the way, the connection speed is as fast as the service. Pure internet joy!

They are a solid web hosting company with an easy to navigate control panel. Their agents are friendly and willing to help when you come across any issues. They also have a community Q&A section which I think in time will become very useful.

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.
