Have been with Afrihost for 3 years now and couldn't be happier with this provider. Even when I had to do the switch from cell c, it was seamless and very convenient. They resolve all issues quickly and efficiently. My internet connection is fast and reliable 99.9% of the time and if there is ever an issue, they notify via text message, although that seldom happens. I always recommend them to friends and family.

I've been with Afrihost for a number of years now and through various iterations of broadband internet connectivity. Their service has always been world class. I have had my share of run ins with them from time to time, but my issues are always resolved timeously in the end. Keep up the good work.

Afrihosters are like brothers and sisters one never had. Never had a bad experience with them, even after a long time charting or speaking direct on the phone. Was charting to George earlier, the guy is just awesome.

I have used Afrihost for about 15 years. I have always had a great experience. Their customer service is excellent and their products are easy to manage with the app or website. The prices are also very decent.

I have used afrihost since 2014. So far it has been really good. Like any other thing there is ups and downs, I would like to say they have tried by all means to stay on top of the matter. Till today, i can happily say they are the best hosting company in South Africa if not the whole of Africa.

I've been using them as a hosting provider for several domains for close to 10 years. I've always received immediate technical support whenever it was needed. I've never had downtime on any of my Afrihost domains and they are always happy to help even when the technical advice requested isn't actually within their scope of service. This company is an excellent business partner.

JHB Water hit the fibre cable in our complex. Within less than an hour of reporting it to Afrihost, they had contacted OpenServe and a technician was on site. Repair was made within three hours of the breakdown on a Friday! Excellent service from both Afrihost and OpenServe. JHB Water... take notes...

Afrihost is one of the most reliable companies I know. I have been with them for a few years and in those years they have given me the greatest service ever without fail😊.

I have been with Afrihost for more than 10 years now, there have been times when the internet when down (about 5 times) but most were sorted out quickly. Once Vumatel fault could resolve quicker because once their field team contacted me it was resolved within a few hours. But overall very good service.

My first experience in transferring an account from previous owner to me was made easy. Lerato was so patient and clear in explaining the required steps through the WhatsApp chat. I'm staying here.

Getting started with Pure DSL

How is Pure DSL different from other DSL products?

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!

How to get connected to Pure DSL

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

How long will it take to get connected?

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

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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

Are your DSL packages shaped?

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

Is the price of the DSL line included in the package price?

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.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Do I need a copper line to use Pure DSL?

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.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

I do not have a copper line, can I get one installed?

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.

Can I use my current DSL modem?

Yes, you can use any DSL-ready Wi-Fi modem with Pure DSL. Need a new modem? Check out our DSL Modems and Wi-Fi page for more information.

Will my Pure DSL package be locked to a single location?

Yes, Pure DSL packages are locked to a single location.

Can existing Afrihost DSL clients get Pure DSL?

Yes, existing Afrihost DSL clients can sign up for Pure DSL.

Please note, however, that Pure DSL is a service separate from your existing DSL Internet. You’ll have to sign up for a new package via our website and Openserve will have to install new DSL services at your premises.

Follow our Getting Connected guide for instructions on how to get Pure DSL.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
