Fantastic service received from Skhumbuzo, the knowledge and interpersonal skills was excellent 👏. Recommendation to anyone who wants quick response and answers ask for Skhumbuzo T.

Afrihost is my choice for hosting as their service was the best. Will be moving all my business to them once other contracts finished with current suppliers.

Amazing service when signing up and migrating. They keep you informed of the progress. Once the migration was complete, router arrived the same day and internet up and running within minutes! Truly amazing service received from the entire team.

I’ve recommended so many neighbors, friends and family members to Afrihost. Funny thing is, ALL of them who signed up are beyond happy as well. Top ISP and I’ve been with most. Afrihost’s Support is just next level compared to others. Thanks for 5+ years of quality service (hosting & fibre client).

I’d like to extend my sincere appreciation to Nomcqibelo, an Afrihost consultant, for her outstanding service. I lodged several requests, and she handled my case with remarkable efficiency and professionalism. Thanks to her swift action, my issue was resolved within an hour of contacting her. Truly impressive support, thank you, Nomcqibelo!

My service stopped unexpectedly last night. This morning I connected with Afrihost via their WhatsApp chat (link was in monthly email). The service was prompt and efficient. The agent refreshed my line and I powered down for 5 five minutes and service was back. Fortunately I had mobile data to use WhatsApp, otherwise it would be a problem. 😁

I was with Afrihost many years ago using ADSL and was very happy with the service back then. I have now decided to move back connecting via Fibre and am sure I will receive the best service. In fact I already received great guidance on what to do on the Whatsapp line. Thank you Afrihose

The Afrihost hosting team helped me restore a website backup after 10pm on a Friday night, well outside of their working hours. This is above and beyond the call of duty and I'm very happy with their support, whether via email, whatsapp or phone. Thanks guys, you're always there to help!

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.

Been with Afrihost for years. Had an issue with e-mail delivery and the Whatsapp webchat support was right on it. Sorted in 10 minutes, efficiently and politely. What's not to like about that?

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.

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.
