I’ve had a great experience with Afrihost, especially when using their WhatsApp support line. The service is quick, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Every time I reached out, the agents responded promptly and guided me step-by-step until my issue was sorted out. It’s so convenient to get support without waiting on a call, and the team is always patient and professional. Thank you, Afrihost, for making customer service so easy and efficient. Highly recommended!

Installation was on time, neatly done and connection activated with no troubles. Thank you Afrihost. Moving to a new installation address soon, let's hope the infrastructure provider is as switched on as Afrihost ISP services :-)

I am a longstanding client of Afrihost and their customer service has always been exceptional. I also recently move another ISP fibre account over to Afrihost due to the poor customer service provided by the other ISP.

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.
