Experienced sudden fibre speed degradation, which i reported via Whatsap for Afrihost. I was contacted promptly and was assisted very efficiently and walk through the reset and testing of the service. All in all a very pleasant and confidence building experience. Well done Afrihost!

I was freaking out as I was late with my subscription payment and finally had an opportunity to execute it but couldn't log in obviously. Afrihost staff were super informative and helpful. Very patient. They didn't just treat me as an account that needed to be paid. Their human interaction was exemplary. 100% Satisfactory. I would recommend them with no hesitation. They sorted me out very efficiently. SassyCook, thanks for your patience! Beverley and Reratilwe were awesome.

Just wanted to give a big thank you to Refentse for the way they handled my fibre installation query. From the get-go, they were on the ball—friendly, clear, and genuinely helpful. No runaround, no vague answers, just straight-up service with a great attitude. It’s not every day you get someone who actually listens and takes the time to make sure you’re sorted. Refentse made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and that kind of service deserves recognition. Appreciate the effort and professionalism,keep up the great work!

I have been with Afrihost now for more than 5 years and their service is still exceptional. The client portal where I can manage everything myself is great and if I need to talk to someone, the support staff is friendly and fast in resolving any issues. I have openly recommended Afrihost to many and will continue to do so. Thanks Afrihost, for providing an excellent service.

Excellent service because they keep good engineers. I logged a call for an issue, it was handled extremely professionally. The engineer fully understood everything and took ownership of the problem. This company is definitely going to go from strength to strength with this level of people within its ranks. 5 Stars to them.

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.
