I've been with Afrihost since 2014 and I really enjoy dealing with them. They also treat you sometimes and give you 3 months of free this or double your fibre speed for free for a short period of time. I quite like them.

Always trust Afrihost as a service provider on my fibre installation. In the 2 years I've had them, I have never encountered any negative feedback. Ease of access to my accounts. Reliable billing. Always a phone call and WhatsApp away. Thank you Afrihost, have and will continue to recommend you to family and friends. Keep up the great work! In these trying times!

as with many ISPs there comes a time when you need help, these guys are on top of it, efficient communication and problem solving, the kind of service you expect from any provider.

I first used another company to assist with a domain and email. A week later and the email is still not working, they admitted the fault is on their side. Afrihost assisted me in less than 10min. Fantastic service! I highly recommend Afrihost

Afrihost really are one of the best ISP’s. I tried signing up to a competitor who claim to be the best but they could not even get my order placed correctly when I moved homes. The competitors only way of communication was via messaging and the agents never responded in time. Afrihost was very different, they went above and beyond to get me connected despite line transfer challenges. Keep it up 💪❤️

Afrihost Client services is exceptional and so far the staff members I have interacted with from the beginning of my subscription (Nkosinathi, Samantha, Rhudzani, Lerato, Michaela etc), have given first class services. Had a bit of a glitch with my subscription cancellation error, and they fix3d my issue with deligence. Their roaming capacity is fast and they have packages to suit any budget for the masses.

I use Afrihost for many years, and I was always satisfied with their services. Through their software they make it really easy to manage your account, track your usage and book a fault if there is any.

They've really upped their service and customer support game in the last 2 years. If I've had any issues, these have been resolved typically in under 15-30min.

All in all best ISP I've ever had the pleasure to deal with! Some problems here and there but that's due to factors such as copper theft. Have a LTE data bundle linked to my phone, as does my wife, fantastic value for money (MTN)! Would stay with them for a fibre contract but I live in a one horse town and unfortunately they aren't a provider. Can't go wrong with them!

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.
