Whatsapp support is awesome. Mandla was awesome. Very seldom do I need to contact Afrihost support and when I do, problems are generally solved efficiently. Highly recommended ISP.

Been quite the eye opener as I only come to realize that I am so outdated with technology, that even Vuyolwethu made me better understand it without even realizing it. They've been calm and relaxed with me with all the screenshots and questions. Excellent customer service. 👌

Just a quick note to say that I have been with Afrihost for a few years now. On the odd occasion when I have needed help with my wifi I have received excellent service. The consultants are polite and friendly and the technicians have been so patient and understanding. Keep up the great service Afrihost.

Afrihost’s service is just incredible! They assisted me over whatsapp at 20:30 and they were able to answer and solve every query. Mduduzi N. thanks so much for your patience and running me thoroughly through the process. This is service! Thanks Mduduzi N. and Afrihost team.

As far as their customer service is concerned, they're the best company I've had interactions with. Even with the most frustrating issues — that can sometimes take much longer than anticipated to resolve — I've always found them responsive, patient and helpful. It's great to see a company that makes an effort to train their consultants to attend to clients with the respect and patience they afford you, and to do so consistently irrespective of who the luck of the draw allocates you to. With some companies, you have to ask for a specific person to help. With Afrihost, never. Thank you. May you grow from strength to strength.

In the 3 years that I have been with Afrihost, I have never encountered an issue that couldn't be solved! The after sales and customer support are fantastic from you guys! Would recommend Afrihost to anyone that needs a new (and actually better) ISP.

I use Airmobile and it is the best decision that I have made. Great service and easy to top-up and they are a lot cheaper than other mobile networks.

Any issue you have with connections. Just send WhatsApp and it will be sorted just like that by well trained technicians. For me Mkhanyisi did a great job!!

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.

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.
