Afrihost is an excellent ISP. They honour their commitments, goes the extra mile and resolve misunderstandings amicably. I have fibre and mobile products with them

Afrihost is a great isp. I’ve been with them for over a year now and haven’t picked up one issue with them which is very rare when it comes to such big companies.

I have always been very impressed with Afrihost service. I have multiple domains hosted with them, both for websites and mail servers. So far over the past 12 years, I have had about a hand full of complaints from my clients regarding being down, and even then, about half the problems were not even related to Afrihost. Thank you for your awesome service with hosting.

They are very helpful, and take the time to understand your issue and explain things to you. Your issues aren’t rushed to get you out of the queue and move onto the next person.

Thulani gave me the best service ever. Patient while he guided me through all the steps. Even when I took so long. Well done, Thulani. You make Afrihost proud! My brother wants to convert to Afrihost because of your excellent fiber deals. I sincerely hope he gets you on the line. Thulani, you are the best. Debbie.

As a afrihost client, they have always been professional at what they do with the service they provide and if there are any technical issue, they handle it promptly if possible. I just had a conversation with afrihost after a long time, and they were able to answer my queries precisely, professionally, directly with all the information that I needed to hear. Thank you for the amazing service and support.

Informed myself via whatsapp help chat on relocating my fibre connection and the customer service as always 10/10. The information I needed was shared in a non-tech language, excellent communication skills by Thabo!!! Continue to highly recommend Afrihost!

Rough start a few years ago with them, but back then the problem was more with Openserve. Been a client now for 3 years and truly can't complain. Constant, quality internet. No hassles when we moved house, and annual free upgrades to my fibre line. Happy customer!

Tshidiso S was o very helpful once we got to the route of the problem and his speedy service to get me a router to replace my faulty one is impressive. Thank you very much Tshidiso. You are appreciated.

Afrihost has been my cost-effective Internet Service Provider of choice for a few years and the mobile wireless connection has always been fast and reliable; the accounts and invoices clear and prompt; and service responses to queries when required efficient. I am sorry to be having to leave them due to failure of the Network provider and no exact replica available through their offerings .

I've just moved from another isp to afrihost. So far so good. Hopefully, I don't have to change the rating in the future. Love the support as they make you feel like you are the number 1 priotory.

Great customer care service and from my experience so far, are very open and honest, especially if they are busy, it really puts ones mind at ease when the consultants communicate, and at least as a customer you know that you are not being ignored, but they will get back to you. A company that values teamwork with staff that is friendly. Thanks Afrihost. Never lose your spark!

I cannot complain, from DSL I had years ago, mobile internet to the hosting plans it is affordable, and service has always been consistant, I love Afrihost, I just wish our Area had Fibre and I would use them for that as well.

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.
