Effective, efficient, dealing with them via WhatsApp chat so easy, love when they also send messages about outages and when it's restored. Highly recommend choosing Afrihost paired with Openserve.

Its always good to work with Afrihost, yes there are some hiccups but this is sorted really quick if you bring it to their attention. There call support always tries to help you to the best of their ability. I have had a small few where it just seems like the caller is reading from a document and not using logic, most of them help you without those pre-typed questions and answers. The internet is good as well, stable for most of the month, when its not that stable you still get around 60% of your line. Well done on the work and efforts you put in.

I woke up to a connection issue this morning and spoke to an Afrihost agent around 8am I went away and got back to my office at around 12 at which time I spoke with another agent. We reset the modem and they did their magic on that side and presto I’m online again. Thank you.

Afrihost offers a great service, has awesome pricing promotions once every now and then. Afrihost has adequate communication in down time and sends out information when it's required. I have been with them for 10 years this year and I won't be moving any time soon.

Been with Afrihost for more than 20 years! From Dial-up to ISDN then ADSL and now Fibre! Never had connectivity other than National Internet outages. I've tried many ISP's. Afrihost is definatnevely the best. I have Pure Fibre and Pure Voip with Afrihost and while posting this review, my Pure Mobile Sim card is on the way and I know its gonna be worth waiting for another super product. Thank you Afrihost

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've been with Afrihost for approx 6 years, and have never been dissatisfied. Even today, I'm relocating and Kenneth Z was tops in assisting me.

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, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

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.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
