Quick whatsap responses - usually able to troubleshoot and resolve the issue - but sadly today wasn’t a router issue but an a dual line issue which has to be routed to the vumatel provider to investigate and correct

I've been a customer of Afrihost for almost three years and they always give good service. Friendly staff and a very stable fiber connection. I barely have issues. I did buy a UPS two weeks ago and it was faulty I had to return it. They tried to fix it but it wouldn't work and they gladly gave me a brand new UPS.

I signed up for a cloud hosting server package 3 days ago. Received an email saying that the server is ready and I can access it via the login details attached. I tried accessing the server and I am unable to connect. After NUMEROUS emails, support tickets, Whats Apps, Phone calls and even trying to get support on facebook messenger... The server is still not working and all I'm hearing the whole time is the problem will be escalated or that someone in second level support will get back to me, which never happens. Just spoke to hosting support again, and after 2 days, I only find out now that apparently an account manager need to be assigned ot my server in order to allocate a Cpanel... how is it possible that after 2 days of multiple emails and support request, theres only one person being able to tell me this????? I am still waiting for the server to work. Update: This issue was sorted out so I updated my review.

I researched ISPs high and low and Afrihost came out tops! The deal is great, the staff is friendly and I honestly can't wait to continue this journey with Afrihost🙌🙌🙌 Special thanks to the 2 agents who helped me out today, Boston and Sicelo G. Keep making Aftihost great, gentlemen.

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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
