Although 1 or 2 customer service agents aren't that nice to talk with when, if ever, an issue occurs. The service delivered by Afrihost is amazing, they are prompt and there is almost no connectivity issues. Will always recommend Afrihost.

Been with Afrihost for quite some time now, and from the inception of installation and the many months of service, have always had good service. Even when things go wrong, which has not been a lot, they have communicated well and given proper feedback.

Most awesome customer service experience. Agents are friendly and always ready to go the extra mile. Had a top notch agent today Ricky S, he was absolutely a real star. Friendly and fast in resolving my Fibre activation. Well done Afrihost on awesome customer service experience... Keep up the good excellent work

I’ve been with afrihost for 15 years and prior to that, webafrica, one and the same. I’ve had pleasant experiences with support calls and always a willingness to help from all the team. And no, I don’t work or know anyone personally, so this is all my genuine experience. Keep being awesome guys and I’ll keep recommending you as a provider, if not the best.

I want to commend Charles M from Afrihost. His patience, professionalism and technical skills led to a happy client. Thank you Sir, for trying various options, while assisting me live via WhatsApp, until the issue was resolved. Stay blessed.

Tshepo M was so helpful assisting me to set up my Dad's phone. He took time to check everything and instruct me accordingly. An asset to your company indeed. Looking forward to dealing with Afrihost!

Was the most incredible experience. What normally took weeks for other such service providers took a few minutes. It was like a Live Call on STEROIDSSSSSSSSSSS

The best ISP by far. From data to hosting and all, the service is just so excellent there aren't enough words to describe. If you got a tech problem, just mention it and leave the rest to the best "A" team. I am very satisfied and would recommend their services to anyone hungry for success. Joel

Afrihost, is easy to work with, low hassle And quite upfront about their services (other companies hide their clawback fees, Afrihost tells you straight). The Customer Service, especially on WhatsApp, is friendly, quick and very helpful. It’s just too bad that referral codes don’t work for fibre. Other than that, I wish I could give them six stars. Truly, the best ISP experience I have had.

Installation was on time, neatly done and connection activated with no troubles. Thank you Afrihost. Moving to a new installation address soon, let's hope the infrastructure provider is as switched on as Afrihost ISP services :-)

It's always such a pleasure dealing with all Afrihost consultants. Though we were texting, I could sense the tone of sincerity with Phumeza. The problem isn't an Afrihost one, but she went beyond to assist me and report the matter to VumaTel as well as getting me my reference number. Thank you

Without doubt the best ISP in South Africa and I have been with them for twenty years through thick and thin. I you have not tried Afrihost, do yourself a favor and try them out. You will not look back.

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.

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.
