Had an amazing experience with Nkululeko from Afrihost. He or She was a consummate professional. Very patient and quite adept at his/her trade. I was also amazed by the quick and efficient response from Afrihost's WhatsApp. Keep it up Guys.

I’m sorry to name drop but dealing with Telkom for the last 5 years was the worst experience! Switching to AfriHost for Wi-Fi in a remote small town was the best choice. I can’t thank these guys enough for the quick and easy service. You don’t have to beg and plead to get things done. THANK YOU!!!

I've been with Afrihost since back in the dialup modem days and later also ADSL. I had to switch however to another ISP when we got fibre as Afrihost didn't service our area at the time. However, my experience with them were never as good as with Afrihost and when Afrihost did eventually offer fibre services on our Vumatel infrastructure, I was eager to jump back - and have been happy ever since.

Have been with Afrihost for 11 years now and am pretty happy with the product (Fibre internet) and service so far. Not cheap, but a quality offering.

Very helpful agents on whatsapp and on call back, I got immediate response from them, signing up was made very easy, everything explained so well, good product knowledge from them. Looking forward to get my delivery and hopefully I will enjoy the internet.

Great, simple, efficient and affordable. Exactly what an SME business needs. I’d like to see them penetrate the informal market. The opportunity is there to be disruptive.

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.
