I am impressed with a service where the person on the line does the same job as me and went the extra mile to be kind and professional helping me as a lady so late to do this after much searching for the right option. The personal touch at the end sold the product to me more.

New to Afrihost. And the service is quick easy without any fuss!! I come from another ISP and there is too much red tape. I hope that Afrihost will continue with this type of service I appreciate the good service.

More great service from Afrihost. Easy to access WhatsApp customer service communication functionality with rockstar “Rethabile” on the keyboard. In a time where other companies are finding more and more ways to put technological barriers between humans, Afrihost makes it easier. Love.

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.
