The Best ISP in the country, they are always there to help and are able to give you the best service in record time, I absolutely recommend Afrihost to anybody who is looking for the best possible internet solution.

They have the best service from when registering with them, from making a payment to receiving a call from when they will come install. From installation to problems that occur with network and connectivity. The network is good, the service is great, the people who assist are super amazing.

Afrihost is my provider of choice for both Fixed LTE as well as web hosting capabilities. They make use of modern technology and assist in resolving calls within a descent period of time. I would definitely recommend them to any existing and future clients.

Love the fact that Afrihost returns a WhatsApp within minutes Their staff knows the products and services excellent. And the fact that if you still old school like me that sometimes want to speak to a person not a bot … they have actual support personnel that you can speak to…. Not a bot that frustrates the living hell of you and asking a whole lot of stupid questions not relates to your issue

So far happy with the service. Placed the ordered yesterday around 11am and they were here this morning at 9.30 to install the Fibre line. Just waiting for the delivery of the router. My rating is subject to change depending now on the delivery and the connection.

Friendly service when you encounter any issues, which has been minimal in the 2 years of making use of their Fibre network. Even in loadshedding we always have a stable connection when multiple devices are connected. The services consultants are patient and very helpful and always direct you in the right direction

Exceptional Service, Year After Year I’ve been using AfriHost for many years, both for business and personal purposes, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a single bad experience. From the quality of their products to their outstanding customer service, AfriHost has consistently exceeded my expectations. In an industry where issues can often arise, AfriHost has proven to be almost flawless. Whenever I’ve needed assistance, their support team has been quick, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to find a company where everything, from account management to service delivery, runs this smoothly. On top of all that, their pricing is very reasonable for the level of service they provide. I highly recommend AfriHost to anyone looking for reliable and well-priced hosting and internet services. It’s been a fantastic experience, and I will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come.

It's a great service provider. Every time I have a query, I quickly send a what's app. They normally reply with an automated message saying they are extremely busy, but they have always reply within a minute after a send a message. And they always help you.... Excellent service. Keep it up.

I've walked a long road with Afrihost, we've had our ups and downs. I must say that things are going very well these days. Support is fast and good. All has been going well for some time now and I am happy.

I’ve always received great support. Fiber to home connected with fantastic uptime and mobile data rates cannot be beat - and you get 1GB free each month, no contract, all on prepaid. It’s the way to go. So happy a tech savvy friend recommended them years ago. I also manage our business phones via the app which is easy to navigate.

I’m very happy with Afrihost’s service. I really appreciate how they personalise the Wi-Fi setup details, rather than just relying on the default router information. Their team responds promptly to customers and ensures that any issues are fully resolved before closing tickets. Great service all around!

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.
