Great service over all. I am very happy with Afrihost. Just make sure of the all details regarding cancelation and relocation periods. Billing runs cause unnecessary double deductions during this time

I received really fast feeback, and great friendly service from Afrihost this morning. I am impressed. I requested a callback and got the call within minutes, chatted on Whatsapp, got a response within minutes... 200% better service than I received with my previous two internet providers.. Lets hope they keep up the great service....... I trust that they will!

GOATed. The best ISP there ever was period. Been using them since 2019 when they offered Cell C via their fixed LTE products. When they cancelled that product line, I tried two other ISPs and deeply regretted it. I got back with Afrihost via their Telkom fixed LTE product and while Telkom speeds were awful, Afrihost was very helpful and transitioned me to their Pure (MTN) wireless packages. I have been super happy ever since. I’ve used Afrihost in KZN, Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga and Gauteng, and they have never let me down; not even once! I even use Airmobile on my phone and am super happy with 1) network speeds, 2) convenience of their apps and 3) the absolute care given to me by their team. I just bought another fixed LTE package from them and am so happy knowing I am in good hands. Their team goes above and beyond to ensure any inconvenience I experience is explained and addressed and I am given a status update. I can just imagine this company must jave a positive work culture because everyone I have ever dealt with from their support team exudes positivity. I preach Afrihost like the gospel and honestly they put every other ISP to shame.

I've had various products with Afrihost for more than 10 years and it has always been a positive experience. They are easy to deal with and one of the most affordable providers available (especially if you consider the upgrades they have provided over the years, often at reduced or no additional cost).

😭 I love you guys. This is first world customer service delivered with human compassion and a genuine desire to assist the client. I'd run around their head quarters high-fiving and hugging the staff because they try harder. Other telecommunications companies might think to take a note from their business model, cough cough Telkom...😑

Had the most amazingly helpful service in setting up new DNS accounts. Something I have no idea how to do! The consultant who helped me was friendly, polite and patient.

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.

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.
