The rating is based solely on the customer service agent I was in touch with-namely Gildo! What an amazing human interaction I had which has become so rare in customer support. I really appreciate his level of attentive listening, kindness and patience which resulted in me not cancelling services which I initially got in touch to do. Thank you Sir!!!

Excellent service, very professional and provided solutions to all my needs. They should have more people like the one who served me. Excellent.

In the 7 years that I have been a client, I have only had two days that the fiber was out due to a connection of the actually. I have added more lines and they seem to be the quickest of the ISPs for new installation in new areas additionally I have never had any admin issues with billing or other problems that arise from dealing with Openserve (in all my cases)

I was with Afrihost years ago with only the best service and quick response when a fault occurred. I moved to my current location and were with another ISP and not so happy. I decided to go back to Afrihost and while the problem is not fully resolved yet, the service on their WhatsApp line on Saturday was professional, helpful and friendly. I trust that my internet connection will be resolved soon.

Thank you for your great support via Whattsapp, this was much more efficient than via email. I have been a happy Afrihost client for over a decade.

Afrihost is great if you are persistent with them else they don’t follow up with a new client to ensure that the customer is sorted. However their WhatsApp communication line is outstanding and your problems are immediately tackled there.

Afrihost - Webhosting. Pricing and Quality of service is on point - second to none. Every single time I email support for assistance im constantly blown away at the speed of the reply and the tech knowledge - politeness and care. Last support ticket your engineers even took the initiative to deduce what I was trying to do never mind only fixing the error i created on the platform backend. They took initiative to give me the answer to what I was working on - and to advise that they are available to support me fixing it if I so wanted. WOOOOW!!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK - YOUR SERVICE LEVEL IS WORLD CLASS (and this is coming from someone with +20Yrs IT Management experience in Europe)

Received excellent service and assitance from Arthur. He was cordial, very willing to assist and was able to identify my problem with the least info. He is certainly an asset to your organisation. Keep up the good service.

(Translated by Google) Few problems and when there are they help you very nicely to solve them especially Ryton. (Original) Min probleme en wanneer daar is help hulle jou baie mooi om dit op te los veral Ryton.

I've been a long time client who's made use of Afrihost's ADSL, fiber, mobile data and hosting services without a single complaint of poor service over the years.

Afrihost you are the absolutely very best service provider in every sense of the word. My wife and I teach English online and have not got a place to call our own. So we have been by 3 places in the space of three weeks. We have a Pure LTE set up and afrihost has assisted us with such speed and kept us online so we can earn salary and survive. Thank you Afrihost 💗💐

Extremely happy with the WhatsApp assistance with Afrihost. Beats listening to music on a phonecall. My problem was investigated and easily fixed.

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.

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

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.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
