I've had an amazing experience with Afrihost! Their customer service is fast, friendly, and always helpful. The internet connection is reliable and consistent, and setup was smooth from the beginning. I really appreciate the transparency and how easy it is to manage everything from their app. Great value for money – I highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for quality service and peace of mind. Keep up the great work!

Have been with Afrihost for more than 3 years now and I love their service. I'm on a month-to-month contract so I can cancel any time, but I have never felt the need to cancel. The internet signal is reliable and I've always had positive experiences with the customer service team. :)

I received excellent support service on Saturday from Prince M. My Internet stopped working and together we reach a conclusion that the Router is old and not updating any latest software and firmware. Will collect a new one today from their walk-in centre in Rivonia Boulevard

Themba was an efficient, helpful, skilled and engaged assistant who thoroughly investigated the issue as far as he was able to. He referred the problem to Octotel to resolve the internet connection. I appreciate the good service and quick action I have received.

I was struggling to upload my proof of address for 4days at least 2hrs a day, on the App, ClientZone, W/App and many E-mails. I was starting to get very annoyed and frustrated and contemplating to cancel the whole package. Up-and-Till today (29th Dec "22) via W/App, Musa Khumalo helped me, what a pleasure, my problem was sorted, Musa was persistent to sort my problem and did not give in to my sometimes sarcastic arrogant remarks. Thank You Musa Khumalo...Viva Musa...Musa for PRESIDENT...👍🏻💪🏻👊🏻🤟🏻

Afrihost whatsapp service is probably the most convenient and customer friendly service I know of. It's so easy to sort out queries and it's great to know you are talking to a human and not some bot.

I use Afrihost for many years, and I was always satisfied with their services. Through their software they make it really easy to manage your account, track your usage and book a fault if there is any.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
