I love dealing with Afrihost. Their products and services are competitively priced and their support agents are friendly and willing to resolve any issues. Little to no delay when dealing with support over WhatsApp. It's a thumbs up from me.

I have been with Afrihost since Gian first started it all those years ago. I have had nothing but great service from them (as we grew together!)

I highly recommend Afrihost , I’ve been with them now for a year, struggled through loadshedding and my wife working from home with them, I’ve always had the best and extremely quick customer service with them. Only cancelled now due to relocation and installation cost with frogfoot being a bit high. If a free installation package becomes available I will definitely be switching back. All the best.

I highly recommend Afrihost. Although you may choose to subscribe directly to their partner service providers, I believe Afrihost excels in customer service above anyone else in the market.

Hardly ever have issues with Afrihost, on the one time I did, the process to log the fault was easy because of the option for watsup assistance. The issue took longer than I anticipated to resolve but it was because the technician assisting me was very patient and wouldn't give up until the issue was resolved, and it was indeed resolved by the end of the chat

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.
