I am so glad I moved to Afrihost as my internet service provider! Outstanding service within minutes to resolve any problem! I am so impressed. Thank you Afrihost.

Afrihost advisors demonstrated knowledge of their products. They clearly understood my needs. They were able to advise me on the service I needed to subscribe for. They were patient as I navigated their website; the website was easy to navigate. Once I had selected my desired package, the payment platform was safe, secure and efficient. The only smudge, perhaps was that I have to wait for a week for a technician to come in and do the installation. In a general sense, not specific to Afrihost, I believe that corporates should up the service standards. Keeping a client queuing for service for a week is just not on; particularly in a country with high levels of unemployment.

Excellent fast and friendly service. They always understand the problem and are able to sort it out quickly. The whatsapp chat is very efficient. 👌🏽

Afrihost has been my ISP for 6 years now. I have had very minimal issues with them over the years and their service has been really great - especially with the option that they brought in a few years back to communicate with an agent over Whatsapp chat to speedily resolve any issues speedily. They have really improved their quality of service over the years. Afrihost as an ISP has been great!

Great app, great low cost data, and when I signed up they had 1GB free per month which is rad as it carries over at least a month far as I recall. I initially got them for a data sim (dual SIM) but I liked them so much now I even use them for my mobile network as well! Little known gem, but big in the tech space! No more expensive charges per gig by the main networks punishing small bundle users and forcing you to buy bigger bundles just in case you go over, it's R30 per 1GB here and you can BUY per 1GB.. and their bigger bundles (buying above 3 gigs) are even cheaper if you do know! I've raved about the network but I also find the app UI great with being able to customise the dashboard shortcuts which is all I need. Feature request: please allow more than one SIM card per email account though, I had errors trying to set this up, it got very complicated.

I picked up a problem with no internet and was professionally assisted by Tutu at Afrihost. I have had a total professional experience with Afrihost from day one and can recommend them to any and all. We run our business on Afrihost and will not change to another service provider.

Moving to Afrihost as my ISP was the best decision I ever made. What a relief to deal with a professional, dependable and consistently reliable company. Highly recommended.

Customer support is definitely a major priority for Afrihost. The agents I have dealt with over the course of the past two weeks have been amazing at trying to sort us out. Unfortunately there are other ISPs out there who want to watch the world burn. Thank you Musa, Tutu and anyone else I've dealt with recently for letting me vent.

I have to place on record, I am over excited and satisfied with the impeccable service from afrihost and the after hours service is excellent, I have spoken to few consultants and said to them they must report my good rating to their manager's. I'm amazed, my order was delivered and installed and activated in a week. The installation and delivery process was quick. I have referred my neighbor to sign up with you guys and helped him with the signing up process on the online application. Please keep your standards high at all times, I must admit the afrihost App is user friendly and everything as a client we need to know is on it. Keep up the good service and I wish you guys well and many more signed on happy client's. 👍🙏😁

Getting started with Pure DSL

How is Pure DSL different from other DSL products?

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!

How to get connected to Pure DSL

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

How long will it take to get connected?

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

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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

Are your DSL packages shaped?

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.

General questions

Is the price of the DSL line included in the package price?

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Do I need a copper line to use Pure DSL?

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

I do not have a copper line, can I get one installed?

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.

Can I use my current DSL modem?

Follow our Getting Connected guide for instructions on how to get Pure DSL.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
