Here's what our say

This ISP rocks. I've bounced between a few over the years and none have come close to the customer service offered by Afrihost. After using them for over 12 years I only ever encountered a few problems, but those were mostly back in the ADSL days and were sorted out really quickly. Their fibre is phenomenal. When they say "uncapped, unshaped, unthrottled" they really mean it. Our line blazes at max speed 24/7 no matter the task. Plus their mobile data offering is best in class. I just added an MTN prepaid SIM to my phone's 2nd slot and loaded their data on which made for a really inexpensive way to get more data for like a quarter the price of buying from the big players. Seriously, check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Since moving from MWEB I've had nothing but excellent service and uptime from Afrihost. I work from home and my connection is vital. Even when an issue comes up they help, even on weekends!

I had an exceptionally pleasant experience with an Afrihost agent helping me with email setup on my phone. The agent was patient, kind and professional.

Ordered their Pure LTE package. From ordering off their website to receiving my package in hand was less than 24hrs. Brilliant service guys - Thankyou! They even prepared the router for me so all I had to do was plug in which was flawless. MTN and Vodacom… you guys have no understanding of Customer & Service.

Afrihost is making my experience with them seamless, but for the day Uluthando takes the cup got my query resolved within seconds which is something we hardly get but may she/he continue doing what she/he did for me for others, this is exceptional customer service.

So far I'm having a great experience! The entire process of getting set up is so simple. The WhatsApp customer service is prompt and efficient. I also really like the Clientzone which makes managing your account and tracking your usage much easier.

I only have praise for Afrihost as a service provider. After 7 happy months with them, I just upgraded my line speed and it took a matter of minutes before the upgrade had happened. Afrihost for the win!

I had nothing but excellent service in my time with them, the only reason I moved was there inability to match pricing with there competitors. These days pricing means a lot when clients are scraping the bottom of the barrel, all due to circumstances .

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.

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.
