Afrihost is fantastic at solving any issues or answering questions. Awesome to be able to talk to a real person who listens and actually cares about helping me.

I got to talk to a real human being on their whatsapp chat without having to go through an automated bot thing. Never under estimate the power of real human interaction. They've gained a customer

Ordered Afrihost fibre online only 6 days ago....and busy watching Netflix tonight! Fast, efficient and professional service at a reasonable rate....Well Done Afrihost! Happy that I took advice from another satified customer to go with Afrihost (and yes this unsolicited....just that good prompt service is not often encountered nowadays)

I’ve been using Afrihost, especially airmobile for awhile now and their service has been great. I also recently used their WhatsApp customer service channel and it was a pleasure chatting with Jesse K.

Afrihost is not perfect, but I have always found their customer service really good. So, even though my internet speed sometimes fluctuates, there is always an efficient person available to help and reset my connection when needed.

First day working from home my router started giving problems, as fate would have it. Due to loadshedding and UPS usage I experienced some difficulty with my connectivity. I don't have the words to describe what the problem was cause I know next to nothing about IT, but with the help of Afrihost's WhatsApp helpline and the awesome helper assigned to me (they have real people online helping you over WhatsApp, not just bots), I was able to sort it out in a jiffy. Thanks Afrihost you all deserve big Christmas bonusses.

Been with Afrihost for 6 years - exceptionally pleased. Uptime > > 99% bar one incident of intermittent drop-outs caused by my fibre equipment had become outdated - got routed to Vuma who replaced expeditiously Maybe not the cheapest but if you need / want reliable hassle free internet this is the way to go

There were some hiccups at first from my side. Afrihost was patient and kept me in the loop at all times and my fibre was installed within no time. I can recomend Afrihost to anyone.

Tshepiso was courteous, helpful, and professional throughout our engagement. I appreciated the clarity and patience with which they assisted me. It’s always refreshing to receive support that feels both efficient and human.

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.
