Afrihost will never disappoint with response time. There are some issues that can't be resolved immediately, but their response time is amazing.

Amazing service when signing up and migrating. They keep you informed of the progress. Once the migration was complete, router arrived the same day and internet up and running within minutes! Truly amazing service received from the entire team.

Yvonne I am amazed 👏 by the patience and understanding you have. I canceled my account and wanted to confirm and after explaining my frustration the solution was given in an outstanding manner. On behalf of customers who still appreciate great customer service I would like to say KUDOS 👏 💐 🥳 TO Yvonne. You deserve all the greatest at Afrihost.

Had to edit my last rating. Had a terrible time with Afrihost support last year but this year was a breeze. Support team was on point and followed up on issues quickly!

Even though I'm leaving you for Google My-Business, I'm still happy with you guys, especially your guy Mike who was a star in customer services, and helped me right to the end of my problem. Art by BeaP is a happy customer.

Afrihost's customer service levels should be the Gold Standard that all South African companies are measured against. I have never been disappointed in any of my dealings with Afrihost and their staff. Well done!

I am very happy with Afrihost. What I appreciate most is that they are quick to respond with any query (in my case) - this to me is the most important quality to have towards your customers.

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.
