Amazing Afrihost with the whatsapp contact centre which allows you to always be in touch but not have to hold on for long. I can now log an issue during work time and not sit on the phone. Your operators are super helpful and efficient. It truly is a pleasure dealing with you guys. A special mention to Enoch in finance and Sakhile who helped me tirelessly to get up and running. You guys are leaders in customer service

WhatsApp communication is unlike any other service provider I've experienced. Their Wi-Fi is fast, and the installation was smooth. I ordered mine over the holidays, and they installed it in 3 days. I highly recommend. Thank you Afrihost.

I have only had the very best service and experience from Afrihost. They have assisted me in a professional and highly skilled manner everytime I had a question and as a ISP, the very best. No problems 😊 ever. Good communication from them as well. Well done and keep up the good work.

I've been using Afrihost for years, and I have yet to have any issue. In the rare case that I do require assistance, they are always avaible to help and deliver the service with a smile, without any issue. No lengthy waiting, service is the best I've every had from any ISP. 100% would recommend.

Used their Whatsapp help service today and was suitably impressed! Professional service with a quick turn-around time. Was refreshing to chat to a real live person and not a chatbot ;-). Well done Afrihost - and well done Sandy for being my hero and sorting out my webpage problem.

I was assisted by Owen who was extremely helpful and patient, and even though the issue with my router couldn't be resolved and it needs to be replaced, he still tried all that he could to help. His help was much appreciated, thank you Owen.

Received the best customer service from Palesa Mohoase In a world where great customer service is becoming increasingly rare, Palesa stands out as a shining example. Her assistance left such a lasting impression and I’m grateful

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
