Afrihost is not only affordable but I pretty much never experience any issues. If I have it was fast and fixed in a couple minutes. Payment options are even easy on the app itself

I would like to express my appreciation for Bryce's assistance. He was very helpful, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future should I require further assistance.

This is the best, yet cheapest IT company. I am a student and I have my own startup company. I am using Afrihost for my web hosting to their free site builder. Everything is working perfectly. So affordable, no unnecessary contracts and hassle whatsoever. This month I'm about to add their Pure fixed LTE data + device and update my web hosting. Well done guys!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Keep it up!

RHulani called after I had endless conversations with the consultants ladies who were so rude when I needed help then added up giving 30 days notice for cancellation. He made me changed my mind and continued to stay with Afrihost . His professionalism was amazing I revoked my cancellation because of him.

In a time when you as a customer are not made to feel that your input or time is important, it is rare to find a business who responds so promptly and goes the extra mile to help. Thankyou Afrihost. I shall definitely recommend you to my friends and family.

I have to say, out of every company I have dealt with, Afrihost has, by far, the best technical support. It is a PLEASURE to deal with them, they are always fast, knowledgeable and helpful and frankly no one else can hold a candle to them. I have been using Afrihost for years, for email and website hosting, and I don't see myself changing anytime soon. I definitely recommend them.

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.
