Always excellent prices and services. Even the Big Boss sends and replies via email when he sends out new bargains and offers, savings. The support desk also always spot on and fast. Respect.

A company that takes initiative with prepping your WiFi route before it’s delivered, making for a real plug and play experience. Their customer support is top notch, with a WhatsApp feature that makes it easy for those of us with social anxiety. Had their service for 6 months now, would highly recommend.

I would like to express my appreciation for Bryce's assistance. He was very helpful, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with him again in the future should I require further assistance.

I love Afrihost. I've been with them for years and haven't experienced major issues. I always receive excellent, friendly and efficient service from the Customer Support Center and would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a service provider that gets the job done in a quick and efficient manner. You can chat with them via WhatsApp too. It takes seconds to get in touch with a call centre operator and they are actually human! :-)

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!

Afrihost not only has products to meet your internet needs and speeds, whilst they also hold a compliment of staffing that has a willingness to assist you and guide you every step of the way. I recommend Afrihost to everyone who works remotely from home especially those who serve in international markets. They are also the number one ISP in our country of South Africa.

Support and help is fast and great, but there is a problem enforcing SLAs with the fibre network provider. Afrihost hand the problem over to Metrofibre but then their hands is cut of. Thanks for that service. My problem does not reside with Afrihost but with the Fibre network provider. I have a fibre problem now for 3 weeks running and the fibre provider by name Mertofibre does not come out to fix or don't know how to fix the problem. Waiting now 2 weeks for Metrofibre technician to call me or show up. I have VERY SLOWWWW speed. Worse then a 64 k dial-up modem.

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.
