I was working from home and had issues with the internet connection. I logged a via whatsapp platform and Mfanelo G assisted with the connection and was resolved under 5 minutes. Thank you for your prompt assistance.

I have been a client of Afrihost since way back. 2006 or 7. Never had a problem they could not solve fast. And all the different products I used over the years was reliable.

I recently cancelled with my previous fibre provider due to their poor customer service and signed up with Afrihost instead. Although my activation was delayed by 5 days because of issues on Vumatel’s side, I must compliment Afrihost on their excellent professionalism throughout the process. Their customer service agents answer calls within minutes, are polite, patient, and sincerely apologetic. A special thank you to Ricardo for the consistent email and telephonic updates, and for ensuring my service was finally set up. Truly amazing service – keep up the great work, Afrihost!

Quick and easy, their support is also very good. Nomcqibelo who assisted me did his job very quick and understood what my issue was and solved the problem quick and effectively.

I had a problem with my debit order payments and used WhatsApp to interact with one of Afrihost's technicians. His name is Larry and found him to be knowledgeable and had patience with my repetitive questions.

Afrihost has always exceeded my expectations from hosting to mobile to the Zest cellphone to eSims where they can do in 10 minutes, from the comfort of your home, the giants in the country require you to visit a store to achieve.

Afrihost has been my service provider of preference since changing from dial up which seems like a life time ago. Always given great service and handled which ever point there was a problem be it with a Telkom line or hardware or now fibre provider. Highly recommended. One stop shop. Great support when things go wrong.

This is the only internet and mobile network provider that you should be with. Since taking out a fibre package with Afrihost 3 years ago I have only be wowed by them every step of the way. Their customer support is fantastic and entirely free. You can log a call back on their app for any issue where they call you within minutes. So no airtime or time spent holding on the line. Their sign process for all of their products is entirely digital and dead simple. Any changes you would want to make to you products like upgrades , downgrades, cancellations or new products is also a few clicks away on their website or app. I just signed up for their mobile offering AirMobile. I received my SIM card within a day of placing the order and I was up and running almost immediately. Great customer care is so hard to find these days but Afrihost has it absolutely waxed. Honestly, DO NOT CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE. Just sign up with Afrihost and you will thank me later.

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.
