Been a very happy client for over 10 years, in a variety of addresses and with various different fibre providers. Afrihost has consistently provided excellent service throughout.

I am pleased and happy with their excellent customer service. The entire process took approximately three days, way less than i expected, especially during the festive season. They guided me throughout the entire process and made sure that i get high quality customer service and connection. I highly recommend Afrihost as they followup on all your enquiries.

There's no other service provider for me. I recommend them to all of my clients. Have never experienced any downtime with Afrihost since 2018. Their support team is fast, knowledgeable and friendly.

Afrihost is the best service provider considering how people are complaining about internet service. I would highly recommend them. Your staff is always friendly on call or whatsapp. I'm really impressed. I'm so glad I chose you as my service provider!!! Stay healthy.

Best customer service I've had over an extended period of time I've ever experienced. Multiple contact channels, responsive to issues (which are rare) and transparent. App just works. Prices are good.

After spending about 3 years with Mweb, I was forced to change. I spent in excess of 1500 airtime minutes (1 month and 7 days) trying to resolve a speed problem (Mweb) Afrihost's connection was seamless. Consultants available on phone or WhatsApp almost immediately. New router arrived and within minutes (via WhatsApp) I was connected. How refreshing.

Professional, fast, patient, friendly and above all incredibly useful. Today's interaction and call for help was with an Afrihost team member by the name of Geraldo and he was excellent.

Took Vodacom 58 days to try and resolve a circuit release on my fibre line, took afrihost 48hrs to get everything resolved and internet up and running again.

After a long afternoon trying to resolve my problem it would seem that the problem is with the Rain network and not Afrihost. Very grateful for the help and patience of Sasha.

I contacted Afrihost via WhatsApp this morning and didn't have much faith that I would be assisted, based on experience from other companies. All I can say is Wow, how I was proved wrong. Musa Khumalo promptly assisted me, and in no time my issue was resolved. Well done, it gave me hope that there is still customer service out there.

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.
