I recently decided to dump my old providers. Boy am I glad I did. Afrihost has shown just how bad the others were. Their whatsapp actually works unlike WA. Ricky was excellent, patient and had the answers. Great job. Was up and running in minutes

Service is on fleek! Customer care feels human and personal, sometimes you forget that you are a client, you feel like the agent knows you at a personal level. Great team spirit Afrihost!!!

My first hiccup with afrihost, due to a system error but the service and customer service is still amazing! Much better than my previous service provider, who shall not be named, yet is well known for terrible customer service ...

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.
