I’m an Afrihost customer for more than 8 years now, first with hosting, then LTe then ADSL & now fibre. Service is excellent as the WhatsApp help desk works perfectly. Their agents are well trained and ask the right questions (I’m in IT support). Minimal downtime, even with load shedding.

For a new prospecting customer, I had great customer service, especially being hearing impaired with the option of getting all required information, suggestions and option via live WhatsApp chat made it very easy and efficient. Very professional, and compassionate, and very knowledgeable and all answers and concerns were addressed with no pressure on the time it took to get everything resolved. Thank you Sicelo, what a great experience first up.

Had an issue with my internet connection, on a Sunday morning of all days, and the response from the Afrihost Whatsapp Support Service was immediate, professional and efficient. This was also the first time I had to log an issue after years of being an Afrihost client, and I was treated with respect and professionalism. Thank you for taking such good care of your customers and making us feel valued. Your service is excellent.

Afrihost provides excellent service and when there are technical or network issues they help you resolve it on the phone or will send someone to come solve it quickly. I’ve been using them for several years in different areas and I’m very happy.

The best part about Afrihost is their customer support. I’ve had minor glitches but I’ve almost always had a good experience. Chatting to them via WhatsApp is quite convenient and highly recommended!

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.

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

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.

Yes, you can use any DSL-ready Wi-Fi modem with Pure DSL. Need a new modem? Check out our DSL Modems and Wi-Fi page for more information.

Follow our Getting Connected guide for instructions on how to get Pure DSL.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
