Like everything in life, sometimes there are problems, but they mange to sort it out quickly though. I have been using Afrihost from back in the 2000's when they had less than 5 employees. I'm proud to say I use Afrihost for so long. They are a next level company with an out of the box thinking perspective. Sign up with them, they rock...

We moved over to Afrihost on a friends recommendation about 8 years ago, and have never looked back or regretted the move. Fantastic service, zero down time, specials/promotions happen often, Their 'clientzone' interface is intuitive and easy to use/manage your account. It's simply the best ISP I've been with (I've had my fair share of others), and I'm looking forward to many more years with Afrihost. Thanks to everyone at Afrihost that has made our experience this good so far!

Afrihost customer service is fantastic and it has been a pleasure to start an account and deal with them and their superb deals. HOWEVER, one of the courier companies that they use is useless and has a terrible rating so I am not sure why they still use them. Really puts a damper on the great service from Afrihost. Hoping if anyone sees this they can be aware, and also, if someone at Afrihost is reading this perhaps its something to reconsider as I am imagine I am not the only person who has had issues with Courier-it.

I have been a client of Afrihost since way back. 2006 or 7. Never had a problem they could not solve fast. And all the different products I used over the years was reliable.

So I just got off WhatsApp with an Agent called Linda and we were online for almostc2 hours. Linda has a high levels of patience a trait really required for the kind of job and services being offered at Afrihost. Linda is a typical depiction of Afrihosts symbol of value. The efficiency, the knowledge and understanding of his job description is beyond spectacular. Thank you Afrihost for investing in your people.

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.
