Had the pleasure of dealing with Reece on the WhatsApp chat. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Problem sorted in less than 10 minutes and he kept me up to date every step of the way. That's the reason I keep on recommending afrihost to family and friends.

My experience has been fantastic from start to finish. These guys are fast, efficient and "do" rather than just ask a bunch of questions. Well done!

I have used them as an Internet service provider for years and have always been very happy with their service. They seldom have outages, and when they do they are addressed quickly and efficiently.

Internet infrastructure is a delicate house of cards and issues are bound to crop up but Afrihost has shown time and again that they are willing to go the extra mile to quickly resolve issues when they show up

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.

Chatting to a consultant was an absolute bliss. Richard assisted me very efficiently and he managed to get my issue resolved in a couple of minutes. Happy that you introduced the Whatsapp chat as a mode of communication with customers. Service at your fingertips.

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.

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.

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.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

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