Recently signed up for Afrihost fibre to the home (pure fiber 10/10) through vumatel. Very easy setup and installation. I collected the router and set it up myself at home with help via WhatsApp. Friendly and helpful staff. Need to test speed once all my devices are up and running. But so far so good! Long may it last

Been with afrihost for a few years now. Products are easy to sign up for and they respond quickly when you reach out for help. I've had their mobile data, DSL and fibre packages and I have been satisfied with each product purchased.

From the get go, Afrihost has been nothing short of prompt and professional! Certain ISP (RAIN) could certainly take lesson or 2 from your book - no, make that a whole novel! Thank you, Afrihost.

Afrihost was easy to contact because they allowed me to ask them to call me back, either by calling or by chatting. I chatted on WhatsApp. My human contact was polite, and kept checking that i was still able to wait and telling me what he was doing. He could not help me immediately due to circumstances (other service providers' policies and time constraints) beyond his control but he went an extra mile to place an order with them for me and I know he explained the problem clearly to them because they have since contacted me. He also told me clearly how to get alternative help if necessary. I am very happy with the after-sales service I received.

Afrihost is one of the most trustworthy internet providers with the best Customer service. Very competitive pricing with fast reliable service each time. Their user friendly application is excellent.

What I like about them is that, they have a WIFI help platform which means you can send them pictures of all those technical funny stuff that you don't even understand as you go along so that you and the operator are on the same page ,and you don't have to worry much about whether you've explained the problem to them correctly because they see it as well. This reduced my anxiety as the client during the entire process. LOL, I was setting up my WIFI router just incase you're wondering as to what happened because I had recently switched from another service provider, and boy am I glad I did. Anyways, I think I will be stuck with these guys for a very long time, and thankfully by choice!

I have used Afrihost for both LTE Internet as well as website hosting. Their customer service, particularly over WhatsApp, is phenomenal. I have never come across a problem that the assistant I was connected to wasn't able to solve. Would highly recommend

Excellent service at all times using Afrihost WhatsApp services. Friendly, efficient and speedy Customer Service. I have used this platform regularly (easily more than 15 or 20 times) and always end the chat with my problem solved. Thank you Afrihost - keep up the fabulous customer service received from your willing and able personnel. I would recommend Afrihost as the preferred ISP to anybody that needs their queries answered "yesterday" already.

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.
