In process of changing ISP's and Afrihost have made it simple, efficient and a pleasure. Love their WhatsApp chat functionality - they answered my questions quickly and helped with the order process. Let's see what happens in the next stage of my migration.....but if this is anything to go by, I know it will be seamless and professional!

Signed with another ISP in Feb 2021. No successful installation with them so cancelled yesterday (27th May. Signed with Afrihost yesterday (27th May after confirming cancellation of previous ISP). Installation and config completed today (28th May!) Very happy to recommend this company as ISP

Great company. When migrating fibre just make sure you use the WhatsApp help to follow up regularly. If you leave them they will leave you for weeks without fibre with no updates when your line was active the whole time.

I have been with Afrihost for some years now and I’m very satisfied with their service. The customer care representatives are very polite, kind and swift to help.

Afrihost is the best thing ever happened to me as I am above 50 years and always had an IT personal assistant. Now I don't need a personal assistant, I just call Afrihost and get guidance on how to do it myself. They are very patient 🙂

Cannot recommend Afrihost enough. The support team is always available to help whenever I've had an issue. The hosting is a 10/10 for me. Very happy with Afrihost.

I've had various products with Afrihost for more than 10 years and it has always been a positive experience. They are easy to deal with and one of the most affordable providers available (especially if you consider the upgrades they have provided over the years, often at reduced or no additional cost).

I’ve had different products with Afrihost since about 2012 if not earlier. When fibre became available in our area I had to choose Afrihost as their service is awesome 👏🏽

I recently received my eSIM from Afrihost, and although I haven’t started using it yet, I’m already very impressed with the service I received. The process of getting the eSIM was smooth and efficient, with clear communication every step of the way. What stood out the most was the excellent customer support. The team was helpful, responsive, and made sure all my questions were answered promptly, which gave me confidence in the service. Based on this experience so far, I would definitely recommend Afrihost for their professionalism and outstanding customer service. I’m looking forward to using the eSIM soon!

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, 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.
