Moving house at the age of 80 can be quite a challenge! Disrupted comms when the move is protracted can make the experience worse! A good service provider is essential.

I had an excellent experience working with Prince M from the customer support team. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, and he went above and beyond to help me with my issue. He was friendly, professional, and always available to answer any questions I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent customer service.

I've been with Afrihost since 2017 and I have no complaints. Excellent service and I like the fact that there's no contracts to tie you down.

First day working from home my router started giving problems, as fate would have it. Due to loadshedding and UPS usage I experienced some difficulty with my connectivity. I don't have the words to describe what the problem was cause I know next to nothing about IT, but with the help of Afrihost's WhatsApp helpline and the awesome helper assigned to me (they have real people online helping you over WhatsApp, not just bots), I was able to sort it out in a jiffy. Thanks Afrihost you all deserve big Christmas bonusses.

I love Afrihost. Their service is one of the rarest. All consultants are very friendly and kind, they're very responsive and forever ensures you understand they are working to resolve what your issues are by constantly checking in on the customer. I requested for an immediate call back service at 22:11 and the a lady called me immediately. I thought it was a hoax but everything they say about their reputation as a company and the level of service they offer, I'm glad to say that they're 110% correct. You can't go wrong, I am a living and breathing happy client ✨️ 🤗❤️

Best experience ever! I got stuck while creating my organisation’s email and website, but Afrihost’s WhatsApp support guided me step by step until the final stage. I’m not sure if I was chatting with a robot or a human, but whoever it was — they were so patient and on point. Truly excellent service!

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.

General questions

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.
