Consistently, upon every opportunity, provides services a step above the rest, building a rock solid public perception. One of SA’s best companies for sure.

I was so pleased with the Themba that I requested to speak with her again. But the system picks the first avaiable operator. But the assistance is great.

The service from Afrihost is absolutely amazing with very efficient and friendly consultants. Nokwanda was a superstar and assisted me immediately. I promote Afrihost to everyone wherever I go, as they are the best fibre provider and deserve all the credit they get. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Ordered a Fixed Lte on Sunday 1 Dec, the order was ready to be picked up on Monday 2 Dec, I walked into the Afrihost center, registered my name and cellphone number, waited for 10 min in the Que. While I waited, I was offered either coffee or water. The service is excellent

Easily some of the best customer-experience in SA. Now using them for my 5/6th time for an internet or mobile product -- fast responses, (normally) easy info/instructions etc.

Afrihost always goes above and beyond to help their customers. Where most companies were taking away from clients during covid-19, Afrihost was giving more (upping our connection speeds at no cost for a few months)

I've been using Afrihost for a few years now. I hardly experience down time or issues. If I do have an issue its easy to get hold of them I've used email and WhatsApp. They're fast to respond and eager to assist. I'd recommend them any day.

Afrihost is definitely one of the most efficient businesses that I have dealt with thus far. A friendly efficient team with great knowledge of their products and services. Will not use another service provider in future.

I have been a client of Afrihost for many years. I have not had any problems. Fibre box on pavement broken and I am sure it will be fixed very soon.

After months of struggling with my previous provider I decided to cancel and switch to afrihost on a friend's recommendation. The process was started Saturday evening and by Tuesday afternoon everything was working - fantastic customer service.

I had an awesome experience with Afrihost. They are by far the best web & email hosting service in the country. Their staff is friendly, helpful and professional. Their contact points are effective and innovative. Thank you Afrihost.

I've had the pleasure of AFRIHOST services for many years now and can only sing their praises most highly. I find that my retiree age group are not familiar with Afrihost as you are not visible in the Malls etc so have not had much success in converting them from the regular Cell shops.

How my experience started he was amazing sorted out all my issues after my previous service provider well NOT anymore as they were liquidated and left me with no internet, which is crucial when working from home, so thank you Thandolwethu L for your assistance, now let's hope openserve can be as efficient

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.
