I have used Afrihost as my ISP since November 2010. I have always had good performance and customer service from Afrihost as an ISP. A few years ago I registered a domain, then another and a third one. I have hosting through Afrihost on one of these domains and I have had the same level of excellence from them for any queries I have had. I have reached a stage where I am ready to use these domains to make my online presence known and I am glad to have Afrihost in my team! Thank you Gian and your whole team.

Used their Whatsapp help service today and was suitably impressed! Professional service with a quick turn-around time. Was refreshing to chat to a real live person and not a chatbot ;-). Well done Afrihost - and well done Sandy for being my hero and sorting out my webpage problem.

I had nothing but excellent service in my time with them, the only reason I moved was there inability to match pricing with there competitors. These days pricing means a lot when clients are scraping the bottom of the barrel, all due to circumstances .

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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.
