Excellent Support from Afrihost! I had an amazing experience with Afrihost’s WhatsApp support team. The response was quick, friendly, and extremely helpful. They guided me through everything I needed with professionalism and patience. It’s rare to find customer service this efficient and attentive—super impressive! Highly recommend Afrihost for both their services and top-notch support.

Just completed a support call with Muhluri D from Afrihost. As I have come to expect from Afrihost, the consultant was courteous, extremely professional, with excellent attention to details. Not once did I have to repeat myself. This excellence of service is in fact a norm when dealing with Afrihost, and the main reason I have remained with them for over 10 years. It is indeed simply quite refreshing. Much, much, much appreciated. Enkosi!!!

Afrihost after sale service and technical support is definitely way above our SA expectations and belief. You can compare it to overseas expectations and they would be NO 1 in my view

The team was so quick to assist and soon as you log a call they did not waste time, they came back to me and soon as the chat end cause of my delayed reply, someone from their team quickly takes over the chat and continue to assist. Happy with Afrihost.

I've never had any connection issues with afrihost since joining their fibre network, but when I had a connection hiccup they where fast in responding and I ended up getting the issue resolved via WhatsApp. Linda M was very patient and understood everything I tried to explain. He/She guided me step by step through text and the issue was sorted in no time. I'm very impressed. Great client service! Well done.

Afrihost is honestly the best especially with their chat function, I love how helpful, patient and polite the agents were and the fact that they stayed with me to help resolve the matter, I would recommend them to anyone, because they don't waste time instead they make sure that your issue is well resolved in time all the time.

Love Afrihost! They're so patient, explain so carefully. I felt no pressure to make a commitment even though we'd chatted quite long. I get back to them when I'm ready - that's fantastic in a day and age when everyone wants a sale.

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.
