I’ve been with Afrihost for 14 years, being my internet provider on 3 different properties. They are absolutely amazing on support, and you deal with a human on the other end, not endless bot questions to go through.. highly recommended

Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

Consistently, upon every opportunity, provides services a step above the rest, building a rock solid public perception. One of SA’s best companies for sure.

Is it possible that I change my debit date to the 25th of every month. My current debit order is in an awkward date and I sometimes do not have funds for it on that day

Honestly though the prices can be a bit higher the service and quality is fantastic. Rarely ever have issues with the fibre and after getting off the line to fix one issue it was so fast and painless to solve and there was no communication issues whatsoever.

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.
