Been with Afrihost for over 7yrs now and rarely have I had anything to complain about that was of their doing. Smart, efficient and diligent consultants. Excellent support.

We are a new small business and chose Afrihost for our domain and hosting. Due to this being all brand new, there were learning curves and Afrihost was diligent in helping me understand every step of the way, making the onboarding process less stressful. Best of all, the WhatsApp line is available to provide support 24x7 (not machine prompts either). Thank you!

Afrihost is the best, their fibre network is the best I have ever used and their agents are on point; always ready and willing to help. I also like the WhatsApp chat, very easy to use and convenient for me.

WhatsApp service and commutation is fantastic! When I encountered a problem - a quick WhatsApp chat guided me through what needed to be done and it was smooth as can be. Very friendly and fast with the help, thank you!

Afrihost customer service is fantastic and it has been a pleasure to start an account and deal with them and their superb deals. HOWEVER, one of the courier companies that they use is useless and has a terrible rating so I am not sure why they still use them. Really puts a damper on the great service from Afrihost. Hoping if anyone sees this they can be aware, and also, if someone at Afrihost is reading this perhaps its something to reconsider as I am imagine I am not the only person who has had issues with Courier-it.

The best internet provider ever. Since been with Afrihost which is a good few years now have never yet had any issues with them. Keep up the great services and good work. I highly recommend Afrihost to anybody wanting hassle free internet. Thanks Afrihost for your great service provided.

Afrihost has been absolutely brilliant. Clear products, fair pricing, and support that actually knows what they’re doing. Setup was straightforward, and when I needed help, the response was quick and helpful, no being passed around or spoken to like an idiot. In an industry where service usually disappoints, Afrihost is a breath of fresh air. Reliable, professional, and genuinely easy to deal with. From application to completion, everything was done online and completed in a matter of minutes. Highly recommended.

Afrihost is really the best ISP that I've ever had, never an issue always willing to help. What other ISP will call you at 9 at night to help with router setup!?

I must say my experience with my fibre application was handled very professionally. Consultant was patient and informative. After payment I received immediate confirmation of installation. I am very impressed and highly recommend dealings with afrihost. I look forward to the installation,I am sure that it will be dealt with the same professionalism

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, 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.
