Most companies/ISPs don't have whatsapp to easily communicate our issues, or they have bots to answer us which is never good. Afrihost has very good consultant and I've always received good troubleshooting skills from them

Afrihost's Webhosting is really good, their product offerings are great (we have upgraded three times seamlessly as our email demands were getting bigger) and their customer assistance via WhatsApp messenger is excellent! 10 out of 10 for Afrihost!

I haven't had any bad experiences with Afrihost. When you need assistance they are always there to assist with a quick turn around time. I would recommend them for best provider and service!

We hardly ever have any issues. I'm happy with the service and when technicians do need to come out they are generally nice people and happy to answer ALL my questions. They've been a pleasure and the service (speed etc) works well for us.

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.

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.
