I was assisted by an agent named Buhle M, they are the best. I had been straggling to get my domains to work and all I could get was apologies and to be patient. But Buhle knew where to look and how to assist me. Thanks Buhle, your bosses owe you.

I have been working with Afrihost for over two years now and they are consistent in terms of quality, value for money, professionalism...you name it. Guys you have been there for us when we had no clue what we expected from a website, you provided us with all resources needed for building own website and designs to suit us. Much appropriated team Afrihost, keep it up!!

I have never had any issues with Afrihost, my queries are resolved seamlessly and the consultants are patient with me. The client zone also helps alot with whatever you want to do.

I have been a client of Afrihost since 2000 and I am amazed at how they have scaled up their service and offering. I host about 40 sites with them and also have a couple of managed cloud servers. Apart from their default voice message saying "We have had an influx of calls and can't take your call as soon as we'd like" that has been on for 3 years, there is NOTHING I don't like about Afrihost. (Support, Finance, Admin, Connectivity, Walk-in included)

Friendly personal tone from operator on WhatsApp help. Query resolved quickly and in a professional manner. All other queries in the past have always received excellent attention. Highly recommend them.

I spoke to Apelele, at Afrihost this morning, I have never encountered such friendly nature and people that can take a joke. This person helped me with everything I asked for, and actually I had a smile on my face. I can truly say, if this is how they treat you then there service should definitely be the same. I can surely recommend this service provider.. They are surely GREAT and Apelele, YOU RULE!

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.
