I used to be with Afrihost and have now joined them again. Their service levels were always good but now it's great. Whether it's via phone, or when I picked up my modem, or though the WhatsApp chat - amazing experiences so far. I'm super impressed.

Most Amazing ISP ever. I am a web designer, not a server administrator, I don't know all the technical fixes when things go wrong, but Afrihost, unlike other ISP's ALWAYS resolves all my issues. Been with them for 10+ years. Still a happy customer. Thank you.

I would recommend using Afrihost as I found them to be as advertised, pure internet joy. We moved recently and the transition was seamless and was up and running in no time. My family and I appreciated it.

I have had the utmost friendly, efficient and totally professional interaction with Afrihost. They kept me in the loop every step of the way with regards to the installation of my fibre. They are quick to answer any queries you have, and not one of my queries has been answered incorrectly. I would highly recommend them.

Been with Afrihost since 2018 for Fibre. Best ISP I've experienced. I also make use of their domain parking and airmobile services and plan to make use of more of their services in future. I also found them to be decently priced.

Afrihost may not be the "perfect" service provider (internet in SA still has a long way to go). None of them are, however they go out of their way to support you and address all your concerns. Their website is informative and easy to navigate for information. Their app is convenient and makes it easy to view my invoices or top up my internet. Their whatsapp chat service is available even during awkward hours and you chat to another human being, no nonsense bot or chatgpt ripoff. They really offer a good service overall. And their prices are deliciously reasonable. It's a win for me.

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.
