Afrihost is hands down the best service provider I’ve ever dealt with! I recently had to move my line, and from the moment I placed the request right through to the installation and connection, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. I was assisted by Nomvuyiso via WhatsApp, and the service I received was outstanding. He was professional, patient, and incredibly helpful, explaining everything clearly and guiding me through the process step by step. It’s rare to experience such excellent customer service these days, and Afrihost truly exceeded my expectations. I honestly can’t see myself using any other service provider again. Highly recommended!

Afrihost has definitely got the most dynamic and outstanding customer experience in SA. Fibre issues are dealt with efficiently. In this day and age I have yet to find another organization that could compete with their excellence! Special mention to Boston for his kindness and efficiency.

We were assisted with our internet connection issues by Katlego and she was extremely patient and helpful and walked us through every step efficiently, and that is exactly the time of person you need when dealing with this type of issue.

Afrihost is a very reliable business their customer service support is top tier. I chatted with one of their agents over WhatsApp regarding my fibre line interruption. The very next morning a team was sent and resolved my issue. It turns out the guys that mow our lawn had cut through the fibre wire that runs through the box on the outside.

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.
