EDITH assisted me on Whatsapp chat - she was helpful, patient and took her time to explain all MY needs and options on a level I could understand

Afrihost's service today was really wonderful. I dealt with two consultants on WhatsApp. The first one couldn't help me because I had left home and the second one sorted out my Internet problem. The problem was not with Afrihost but a problem on the line. Vumatel is repairing it. I was truly amazed at their service on a Sunday. Well done Afrihost 👏.

Their Offices in Rivonia are world class with very well equipped client support centres and probably the quickest response time in both service and sales.

Great company. Customer Service is next level. I have been a client of theirs since 2016, and I love dealing with them. Minimum down time and if it is down, it is resolved very quickly.

Your whatsapp service ROCKS! Time and again, you guys help me to resolve hosting issues as a DIY techno-explorer. Thulanie made me feel like I really mattered today... with a few little niceties in the messages... and I felt as though I wasnt just another number on the system... thank you.

I've had an amazing experience with Afrihost! Their customer service is fast, friendly, and always helpful. The internet connection is reliable and consistent, and setup was smooth from the beginning. I really appreciate the transparency and how easy it is to manage everything from their app. Great value for money – I highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking for quality service and peace of mind. Keep up the great work!

Anyone can provide a service but providing support after that is rare. I was able to contact quickly and although my problem wasn’t sorted I was advised to open a ticket.

I have been a web-designer for more than 20 years, dealt with most of SA's ISPs, Afrihost still beats them all. Absolutely recommend them above anyone else.

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.
