Geraldo J is a very skilled and professional assistant. I always use the WhatsApp chat to get my issues sorted but till this date no one has provided such amazing and skillful assistance thus far. It's quite impressive actually...I'm a Tech guy myself so seeing someone go above and beyond their scope of work is important for the brand. This is why we shall retain our domains with Afrihost. 🙏🙏🙏 Enkosi

Always a WhatsApp away and always determined to help me! I am certainly not tech savvy but Afrihost ALWAYS gets to the bottom of my VERY FEW issues. Usually my own fumble with cables 😂

Great experience with the Afrihost Whatsapp consultant this morning. Woke up to no internet service. After doing all the necessary checks, reboots, port recreation, etc., we were back up in good time. Thank you for your fast and efficient service.

Have been using them for over 10 years now. Had a few issues along the way but they were always able to sort it out quickly and have always been available to assist. Would definitely recommend them.

There is no better Internet Host - Provider than Afrihost in South Africa. You can try - but as a host of multiple website for over 20 years, laying out fibre, you will make a big mistake using anyone else than Afrihost. I've learned my lesson the hard way, do not fall in the same trap - just use Afrihost!

I’ve been using Afrihost as my dedicated hosting company since 2017. I started off with a blog and now I host 2 of my business websites with them as well. They have always been friendly and attentive whenever I need any help or have any questions. They’ve got various products for various budgets as well, which makes them the ideal hosting platform for when you’re just starting out.

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.
