excellent company to do business with. Staff are extremely helpful and the online support makes life easy. I wish switching my debit order with the banks was as easy.

I used to make use of Afrihost until 2016 and left them due to poor service. I were then recommended to use them again and went in to fetch my Router. WOW Great service, friendly and so so helpful. Well done Afrihost Management. Excellent service

I have been a client of Afrihost for many years. I have not had any problems. Fibre box on pavement broken and I am sure it will be fixed very soon.

Been with Afrihost for 9 years last month, looking forward to many more years. I have always been sorted out in a flash whenever there is a glitch in the service, and I recommend Afrihost to anyone who wants a great experience and reasonable prices. Thanks Afrihost!!

Excellent service received via Whatsapp help assistance. Fast, efficient, friendly responses. They helped me immediately, and the spped of communication between Afrihost and the Fibre provider meant that the issue was attended to in record time. Very happy with their service

Easy peasy, lemon squeezy. I loved the fact that I used to be a client of Afrihost's and didn't need to fill in any new applications or provide documentation for a fibre connection. Signing up took five minutes and installation about 30 minutes. What a breeze!

My navrae is vinnig en professioneel beantwoord. Ek wens almal wil hierdie tipe diens inbring! Dis ŉ baie oulike idee om van Whatsapp gebruik te maak om navrae te beantwoord. Nou het ek alles byderhand en kan terug gaan om dit weer te lees indien ek iets vergeet het! Ek gee hulle 5 sterre en 11 uit 10 vir die persoon wat my gehelp het!

Really a pleasure doing business with Afrihost, almost never have downtime with our fibre. Competitive rates. They attend to queries quickly and efficiently. Their website hosting and related products also well priced and equally simple and efficient to subscribe to. Queries attended to quickly and efficiently.

Afrihost are the customer service that MTN can't offer. It's such a shame that they rely on the MTN infrastructire which often lets the down. From Domain creation to Support, Website builders, Mobile Data plans and Airtime management, Afrihost are amazing !

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.
