Apelele employee of Afrihost was nothing but exceptional in assisting me via WhatsApp to become a customer. I have only had good reviews about Afrihost from neighbours in our area. I hope to be one of lucky customers in this regard as I have endless connection issues with my current service provider.

Honestly, everytime I contact Afrihost for assistance, they are quick and effecient. I've dealt with soo many ISPs and this one is by far the best. I will not move without knowing if they can provide services at my new place! A 5* from me!

Great service, was in store this morning to collect a sim card & modem. The collection and sim activation process was painless and once I had configured the modem to my existing network I was up and running.

Afrihost is taking over my current Openserve line from another government owned ISP. Their assistance and friendliness was just what I needed after weeks of headaches and frustration. Thank you, Afrihost!

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.
