The fibre cable got damaged from the recent strong winds causing the loss of an internet feed. Within 1 hour, of reporting the fault, a technician arrived to address the issue, very good service, hopefully the fault can be rectified soonest.

I cannot recommend Afrihost enough. I have been a client for going on 8 years now and I have received only excellent service from them. From the smallest query to the more technical ones, the support team is friendly and fast to respond. They are also exceptionally knowledgeable and always happy to help. Super grateful for Afrihost :)

If you look for Fibre connection, don't look further than Afrihost. Been with them for many years. Always quick to respond to assist. I have been with other providers before, but none of them will win my vote again. Afrihost, you people Rock

I've used the domain from Afrihost, their packages are affordable, the support is timely. I have parked my domain with them because I would like to be able to use it, once i am ready again.

I always receive the best customer service from Afrihost. Whether it's a support@afrihost email at 2am, or an instant chat via Whatsapp, there is always someone available to assist without having to wait hours or days for a response. This is invaluable when productivity depends on prompt answers from the ISP. Thank you.

Had a great experience with Mbali, she was patient and very keen to help. Had previously struggled with connection , when my router got delivered, it had not been configured properly. Spoke to Mbali via email and she asked to call me, I was online within 5 minutes. Thanks Mbali

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!

I’ve been with a number of ISP’s and Afrihost has to be by far the best. Friendly staff always ready and willing to go over and beyond with assistance. Their service is efficient and seamless, payment processing is easy. Everything is just 10/10

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.
