Fantastic support and guidance from Sabelo ...WhatsApp support answered immediately and Sabelo was not only patient but provided clear and concise testing instructions. Plus advised on remedies available to my aging router. A pleasure to deal with Sabelo!

I've been with Afrihost for several years now, and I won't be changing from them any time soon. Their prices are at the lower end of the scale and their support is always superb.

Afrihost is the best. They have time and patience for the average users and know how to talk to people. I’m always amazed about how they handle us customers. Keep up the good work guys. Even the amount of time they take to resolve an issue; it’s just amazing. You can just tell that they know what they are doing.

AfriHost What’s App technical support is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised at how professional, friendly and helpful their support engineer, Jehan, was. My query was resolved at the first attempt. Thank You Afrihost.

Shout out to Nomfundo, well trained and knowledgeable in navigating Chat services. She was patient and directing with such politeness and humility Positive experience and well trained agents who take their jobs seriously leaves an everlasting impact on customers and I am one of those. I have been with Afrihost for little over 10 years and and their service is consistent across all the organisation. Keep investing on your staff... It goes a long way and they are the ones to retain us. Thank you Nomfundo for such a positive experience. Ms. Maybenne'

Moved to Cape Town and there was a different ISP at the premises, tried to contact them to take over the line as the previous owner had no issues with them? Tried to contact them a couple of times and kept forwarded to a bott, 10 min on WhatsApp then the call gets closed? So I contacted Afrihost, they got me up and running in under 24 hours. They had to get the line forcefully taken over as the owner was in his notice period. Was always kept in the loop on email. Good work from the sales and technical team.

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.
