Excellent Support from Afrihost! I had an amazing experience with Afrihost’s WhatsApp support team. The response was quick, friendly, and extremely helpful. They guided me through everything I needed with professionalism and patience. It’s rare to find customer service this efficient and attentive—super impressive! Highly recommend Afrihost for both their services and top-notch support.

Overall, a great support experience. While there was a slight wait to get connected, once I was through, the support was outstanding, helpful, efficient, and truly appreciated.

Afrihost has been the best ISP I've been with. I've been their client for around 6 years and I've been happy all that time. Great service and prompt response

Using Afrihost Fiber for 10 years now. Any problems that arise are always solved as quick as possible. Although Afrihost is quick to solve problems with hosting there seem to be a lot.

The Afrihost service itself is the best. I'd prefer they use their own infrastructure rather than Vuma. Overall, my experience has been great, except when infrastructure issues came up, and Afrihost couldn't help. Speed is great, and 2 years later, I am still a happy customer

It's always a pleasure to deal with Afrihost. Service is quick, friendly and professional. I've been with Afrihost for years. The agents are very good and always managed to resolve any issues I had. Which actually haven't been many .

Prompt, professional service received from Hector on the Afrihost WhatsApp line. I was pleasantly surprise how quickly my issue was resolved. Hector constantly assured me that he is still on the line and busy with my query. Awesome client service. Will defnitely use the WhatsApp line in future.

I have used Afrihost for about 15 years. I have always had a great experience. Their customer service is excellent and their products are easy to manage with the app or website. The prices are also very decent.

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.
