Afrihost is a superb ISP. I highly recommend them to anyone. It is a pleasure to deal with them if you have a problem as they are helpful in problem solving and will escalate matters when required. You are not shunted from one department to another as is the norm in most businesses in SA today. Keep up the outstanding service Afrihost!

Twice Afrihost in conjunction with the fibre line provider have quickly responded and resolved issues with the physical line. The last resolution was done on the same day the issue was reported.

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.
