Their service is great. With Afrihost ClientZone I can check, change and control my account. Their WhatsApp service is super helpful too and you don't need to spend hours on the phone. I'm a longtime client and not going anywhere anytime soon.

I have never dealt with people so passionate and professional like Afrihost personnel. I am rating Afrihost, the best customer service company in South Africa. My shining stars are Reitumetse S, Onndwela M, and Vishnu S, and Tshepo Rampoti tops them all.

After spending about 3 years with Mweb, I was forced to change. I spent in excess of 1500 airtime minutes (1 month and 7 days) trying to resolve a speed problem (Mweb) Afrihost's connection was seamless. Consultants available on phone or WhatsApp almost immediately. New router arrived and within minutes (via WhatsApp) I was connected. How refreshing.

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.
