I've had the pleasure of AFRIHOST services for many years now and can only sing their praises most highly. I find that my retiree age group are not familiar with Afrihost as you are not visible in the Malls etc so have not had much success in converting them from the regular Cell shops.

Company is easy to use and I love the UI User Interface as it so easy to navigate, visit and search the things I am looking for. The UI is pleasing to the eyes and expresses simplicity & convenience. I will carry on doing business with Afrihost because they are a company that outcompetes & outworks the competitors in this industry

I first used another company to assist with a domain and email. A week later and the email is still not working, they admitted the fault is on their side. Afrihost assisted me in less than 10min. Fantastic service! I highly recommend Afrihost

Engaged in a WhatsApp chat with the call centre" - the call centre guru was extremely helpful and even pre-empted which information I would need. Thank you.

I had low download and upload speeds but it took Afrihost 5 minutes to rectify the problem. With all honesty this is the best service provider in South Africa ATM

Rough start a few years ago with them, but back then the problem was more with Openserve. Been a client now for 3 years and truly can't complain. Constant, quality internet. No hassles when we moved house, and annual free upgrades to my fibre line. Happy customer!

I have been with Afrihost for roughly 6 years and I don't think any other network can compete in terms of value adds and stellar customer service provided to me as a customer. Bravo Afrihost, may our relationship continue for many more years, thanks!

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.
