Afrihost is the best when it comes to customer service, they place a high standard on their service delivery and I cannot see myself with any other ISP. Even if Afrihost had to cost abit more, i'd pay more and save myself a ton of stress dealing with other ISP's with poor customer service.

Afrihost is always an absolute pleasure to deal with. The WhatsApp chat makes it work seamlessly because I don't have to juggle things with a phone at my ear.

Was with anouther service provider (won't name any names) constant lose of speed and network down time. Changed to afrihost 4 months ago and not had a problem since. Easy problem solving with their whatsapp support line and had a problem with my otp not being sent to me and they sorted it within the hour.

My reason for moving from my previous ISP was the poor technical service and Afrihost has already blown me away. Really happy with their Whatsapp support. Every single query was resolved without any hassles. So far, so good!

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.
