I will recommend Afrihost ANYTIME. They are always available for support, whether its their technical department or accounts/admin department. They will stay on the line and guide you step by step until you are sorted, whether its a technical problem or admin issue. They can call me back if I need them to. They are just perfect. I am using the uncapped data in my phone and I've got data everywhere I go, limitless.

The best by far. I've been with 2 other ISPs before and I have never been treated with so much respect, care, and urgency. Prices beat most but customer care and customer satisfaction sure is their motto. They have truly brought pure joy to my family. Keep up the great job guys, the support team is just amazing.

Today I was assisted by Fumani, I would like to thank him for the service he has given me. He was patient throughout the process, we took a long time but he didn't give up. I would like to say that You are a star, Afrihost has a warrior in you. You deserve, award, medal, trophy for a great customer satisfaction service.

Very seldom have any issues with Afrihost as our domain host and when we do have a problem or question, it is quickly sorted out. Much appreciated.

I like the fact that they are quick to respond and you can contact them via many channels and you do not have to listen to sales pitches, everything is electronic

Afrihost is definitely one of the best internet providers out there. Even when there is an outage, their WhatsApp support is quick, easy to use, and handled by incredibly friendly and helpful staff. I’ve never been without internet for more than a few hours at most. Their service and support are truly excellent. Definitely the best!

INCREDIBLE SERVICE! For the first time since our installation our fibre line went off. So on a Sunday morning I tried out the Whatsapp Service and spoke to Thulanie. He was very helpful but I wasn't expecting a solution at least for a few days... 3 hours didn't pass when Thabang (the technician) phoned me and said he was at my gate. He was kind and most helpful. I'm beyond grateful that our line was fixed at such a speedy pace and with such a great attitude from both Thulanie and Thabang. This gives me so much hope for our country!

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
