Great from start to finish! Second account I am proudly opening with Afrihost! A friend messaged me while busy with the registration, asking me what I was doing... Told him "signing up with Afrihost"... He replied that I was making the biggest mistake ever, I should rather use *******. I told him to call back later as I want to complete my Afrihost registration without interruptions - and that I have been an Afrihost client for almost 10 years with NO issues! Call ended, he forwarded me a brochure of the company he was referring to... 5x times more expensive, I kid you not. Domain registered with Afrihost and ready to use in under an hour! Great service!

Besides the fact that I haven't had wifi for 3 weeks, Afrihost has made every effort to try and assist and resolve the issue which I appreciate. When it is working, it's a great and affordable service so hence my 5 stars.

Afrihost is the bomb. Been leading in the no contract no worries since the beginning. I will only ever recommend Afrihost as the ISP to use to everyone that i speak to. The whatsapp help chat is also amazing and effective. Thank you Afrihost for your innovative approach. Top class service!

Hi, I am an Afrihost fibre user and rarely have connections problems unlike many neighbours in our complex. Also, getting in contact with a consultant improves my understanding and ability of some IT terms. Keep up with the good work Afrihost.

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.
