They have great prices for the quality of product. They always have someone who can help even through the festive season. They respond to queries quickly and if they have to physically come in, they are swift and friendly.

Signed up to Afrihost from another ISP and wow what a difference! Their level of service is incredible. The WhatsApp chat feature is a one stop inquiry shop for all issues from technical to billing. No more emails bouncing from one department to the next or being on the phone for hours. Internet access and speed is great, no issues at all. Very very very happy I made the switch. My only regret is not joining them sooner.

EDITH assisted me on Whatsapp chat - she was helpful, patient and took her time to explain all MY needs and options on a level I could understand

Excellent customer services and very very speedy. I signed up yesterday. The customer journey was seamless as it took me 5min to sign up. Router has been delivered. Additional questions and updates already made. Literally just waiting on the Network Provider to contact me. Portia M was also very friendly and helpful. She went the extra mile and made everything very clear for me. Amazing services!

I have the highest respect for the way in which my connection issue was handled by a very competent "agent". Thank you for your patience accorded me, Kgahisho

As a potential new client exploring options with Afrihost the information I got from the website was clear and the process to set up an account easy. I used Whatsapp to ask a question about the timing of the migration and I got a prompt and helpful response.

Best customer service! I used to be with WebAfrifa where they took days to respond to my issues. Afrihost responds and resolves within minutes.

A truly one stop positive experience from ease of usability on the website down to the fast and efficient whatsapp interaction with their service agent. An uplifting experience in these times of shoddy customer service experiences. Well done Afrihost for the positive and uplifting experience!

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Refentse for their outstanding assistance with my recent fibre installation query. From the moment I reached out, Refentse was professional, patient, and genuinely committed to resolving my concern. They took the time to listen, provided clear and accurate information, and followed through without delay. It’s rare to come across service that feels both efficient and human—but Refentse delivered exactly that. Their calm demeanor and willingness to help turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Thank you, Refentse, for your excellent support and for going the extra mile. Your help made a real difference

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.
