Great ISP. Was very hesitant to move to Afrihost because of historical issues I’ve heard about. But I have not looked back once. Fast, accurate responses from support staff. Sign up was flawless, speed is consistent and what I paid for. It’s all anyone could ever ask from an ISP.

Glen M was extremely professional, patient, and helpful throughout our WhatsApp interaction. He listened carefully to my questions and concerns, and provided clear and thorough responses. Glen's demeanor was friendly and reassuring, which made the process smooth and stress-free. I was very impressed by Glen's product knowledge and his ability to explain things in an easy-to-understand way. He took the time to ensure I had all the information I needed and did not rush me at any point. Overall, the service I received from Glen was exceptional. He is a credit to your company and I would highly recommend him to others. Please pass along my sincere thanks for his outstanding customer service.

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!

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.
