I am an old Afihost customer. Had a break when another ISP offered me a deal with free voice. Since all the elderly has passed on we no longer require voice, so I'm coming back to Afrihost. Glad to be back.

Great hosting provider! Everything is extremely automated and immediate. Representatives on WhatsApp are shockingly experts and have a great understanding of project hosting. First hosting provider I’ve dealt with in South Africa that have people with that kind of expertise.

Excellent service from Afrifost Just signed up with them, and had a problem connecting. I used there What’s up chat line and delt with Rethabile who was online with me for almost 3 hours, trying every possible method to resolve the problem, I eventually got connected and able to login to other websites, only unable to acces one site, the afrihost login webpage, which he then logged a call with the relevant department to sort out the problem. Well done Rethabile for the excellent work, and to afrihost for an effective WhatsApp chat line

The service by Khanyisile was really out of this world. She really went out of her way to provide a satisfactory service. She really represented Afrihost very well. She is thorough and a real Afrihost ambassador.

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.
