I had an amazing experience working with Gildo at Afrihost! He was incredibly attentive, patient, and truly understood my concerns. My Wi-Fi connection had been giving me trouble for a while, and Gildo didn't give up until we found a solution. He kept me updated throughout the entire process and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. It's rare to come across someone so dedicated to providing excellent customer service. I truly appreciate his persistence and kindness. Highly recommend Gildo for his outstanding support!

Afrihost is the best service provider so far for website hosting, their customer service is golden and they respond and solve quick. I just love them 🙏🏽

Haven't had any issues. Client zone well laid out and easy to use. Whatsapp feature is efficient and support is quick and easy. Prices wise, not extremely competitive as it looks like all ISPs are round about priced the same at the end of the day.

Afrihost takes client care to the next level. Their service is amazing, you are chatting to an actual human being who does not take hours to respond, but the conversation is like a normal flowing one. Very happy migrator.

(Translated by Google) I would recommend Afrihost anytime. Their service is great and feedback on an issue is quick. They just make everything easier. Good service is rare in South Africa. (Original) Ek sal enige tyd Afrihost aanbeveel. Hulle diens is puik en terugvoer oor 'n kwessie is vinnig. Hulle maak alles net makliker. Goeie diens is skaars in Suid Afrikaans.

(Translated by Google) I like Afrihost in general but would like a more personal telephone experience. (Original) Ek hou van Afrihost in die algemeen maar sou graag ‘n meer persoonlikke tellefoniese ervaring wou he.

Please can you just give Thabang a Bells or a raise. Or both! He assisted with my fibre connection issue and had it sorted out and connected in less than an hour. Two other agents on your team kept me waiting for days! Great service Thabang. And thank you!

Need help?

Getting started with Pure DSL

How is Pure DSL different from other DSL products?

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!

How to get connected to Pure DSL

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

How long will it take to get connected?

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

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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

Are your DSL packages shaped?

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

Is the price of the DSL line included in the package price?

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.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

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.

Do I need a copper line to use Pure DSL?

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.

I do not have a copper line, can I get one installed?

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

Can I use my current DSL modem?

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.

Will my Pure DSL package be locked to a single location?

Yes, Pure DSL packages are locked to a single location.

Can existing Afrihost DSL clients get Pure DSL?

Yes, existing Afrihost DSL clients can sign up for Pure DSL.

Please note, however, that Pure DSL is a service separate from your existing DSL Internet. You’ll have to sign up for a new package via our website and Openserve will have to install new DSL services at your premises.

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.
