It was easy for me to be recconected, after i stopped using fibre internet for a longtime. They made it easier for me to understand which steps must i follow to be recconected again. Thanks Afrihost and your team.

World Class Service. I applied telephonically - I was assisted by a courteous, patient & knowledgable Staff Member (Brian) who processed my Application flawlessly. Installers booked & arranged our Installation two days later. Congratulations Afrihost!

Very professional place. Well laid out and their process for lining clients up with a consultant is top notch. You won't wait long and their security is good too. Parking can be a bit of a problem of they're very busy, but otherwise conveniently located.

The Afrihost App is simply awesome. I am able to see my usage for my, and my family’s devices all for data, airtime and sms. Top up is just so easy. I can move data between devices. Invoices can be quickly transferred via Airdrop. Their presentation of everything is clear, concise and comprehensible. Card payments work perfectly. 10/10 guys. Well done !

Service is on fleek! Customer care feels human and personal, sometimes you forget that you are a client, you feel like the agent knows you at a personal level. Great team spirit Afrihost!!!

I had a query about one of the domain names registered in my name. Logged a query on ClientZone. I had a response in short moment but unfortinately I got busy with other things ... and could only complete my query after 17:30. Then I called and was redirected to using WhatsApp.afrihost.com. I got helped by Mike and was sorted within minutes. Thanks Mike. Excellent service Afrihost.

They are very nice to work with, they get the job done while still being polite and respectful to the clients requirements and timeline. I think that they are the perfect image of how a business should treat their clients

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.
