Placed an order for fibre on 06th July and fully set up on 12th July. Literally 6 days later, I'm super impressed with Afrihost & Vumatel and look forward to a good journey with both companies. I had a bit of a connection issue with my router, but after a 5 minute conversation on whatsapp with Sindile from Afrihost, my issue was resolved promptly and professionally. Thank you so much!

Thank you Afrihost for coming to my rescue. I work mostly from home so WiFi is very important. This morning it was not working and I sent a WhatsApp to Afrihost, a agent messaged me almost immediately and after a few.simple.questions and guidance, he got my router working again...so efficient and helpful... That was the smoothest customer service experience I have ever had. Well done Afrihost 10/10 #happycustomer

I have to say, out of every company I have dealt with, Afrihost has, by far, the best technical support. It is a PLEASURE to deal with them, they are always fast, knowledgeable and helpful and frankly no one else can hold a candle to them. I have been using Afrihost for years, for email and website hosting, and I don't see myself changing anytime soon. I definitely recommend them.

Ported my number from Cellc to Mtn just to use Afrihost for data. Cheapest price per GB with a 60 expiry window. Also appreciate the free 1gb every month. Highly recommended!

I am struggling for 4 days with Supersonic with no luck!! I will never ever recommend them. I have contacted Afrihost and immediately got service and excellent service too. I will definitely recommend Afrihost to anybody, especially for working moms doing meetings and homeschooling in lockdown where you need internet

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.
