The most awesome ISP there is. Tech savvy, great response rate, user friendly platforms, accessible, safe, reliable. You can call them, WhatsApp them, email them, someone is there to assist. Awesome deals and competitive pricing. A girl is happy.

My experience has been fantastic from start to finish. These guys are fast, efficient and "do" rather than just ask a bunch of questions. Well done!

Overall, a great support experience. While there was a slight wait to get connected, once I was through, the support was outstanding, helpful, efficient, and truly appreciated.

Always loved Afrihosts professionalism and quick response. Ive used them personally and for clients of mine for the past 4+ years, never had a complaint. Their customer service is of a specially high regard and you feel as if they really care about the end-user. Great stuff

Afrihost service is really tops. Love how they're available on WhatsApp and are quick to respond and helpful. They have never given me any good reason to consider any other provider and they just keep up the good work. Awesome.

It's one in a million you get to deal with companies that are so professional and human. I chatted to Boston and Portia on whatsup. Then Lerato on email .All were very helpful, attentive to detail, swift in their dealings with me and it made my queries easy to solve. My general experience with the Afrihost supercedes expectation and l'm grateful we still have organisations run so professionally. A huge breath of fresh air. Well done team.Thumbs up to you.

Afrihost has been a Brilliant Service Provider on every Level since I made the move in early 2019, not once can I fault their commitment to you as an individual and as their customer. Due to their Amazing Service, in almost 3 years, I have moved over a JHB Football Club, my entire Family (5 x accounts), close Friends (7 x accounts) and counting, into the Afrihost Family. Thank you to Dean Suchard for starting my journey at Afrihost, you were right your Service is exceptional and you made this so easy. Thanks! A Special mention to Char Bonneau, wow, what an amazing person, every time we interact, I feel like Char is sitting right next to me or with my family / friends to help sort out the issue, or get a new service activated or just being there to find out if we okay. It's rare to find a person that is so individually committed to their customers and holds their organization in such high esteem. Afrihost is better with you. Thank you to the Afrihost Team, keep up the Amazing Service.

I have the highest respect for the way in which my connection issue was handled by a very competent "agent". Thank you for your patience accorded me, Kgahisho

Had a less than ideal experience with someone from support because they immediately thought they were addressing my issue instead of listening. I then called back and was met with someone else who took the time to ask questions 1st to fully understand the issue before working on the solution and hence knocking it out of the park.

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.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.
