I have been a customer for over 8 years now, and never has a problem not been solved with 30mins. Basically, you get in touch, they do their magic and most of the time your problem is solved within minutes. Industry leading customer service! By the way, the connection speed is as fast as the service. Pure internet joy!

I chatted on WhatsApp with a gent called Ethan. He was brilliant, patient and understood exactly what I needed. My sister trusted them, and I do too. I recommend the professional service to anyone and everyone looking for LTE or uncapped solutions. I spoke to Steph M and again, a repeat of amazing service. Thanks so much.

I’m sorry to name drop but dealing with Telkom for the last 5 years was the worst experience! Switching to AfriHost for Wi-Fi in a remote small town was the best choice. I can’t thank these guys enough for the quick and easy service. You don’t have to beg and plead to get things done. THANK YOU!!!

Maisela at Afrihost provided exceptional service that truly stood out. His patience in answering all my questions, deep knowledge of the products, and unwavering professionalism made the whole experience smooth and reassuring. In fact, Maisela is the main reason I have decided to continue my FTTH service with Afrihost. His support gave me confidence that I’m in the right hands. Thank you, Maisela, for going above and beyond.

Afrihost provides excellent service and when there are technical or network issues they help you resolve it on the phone or will send someone to come solve it quickly. I’ve been using them for several years in different areas and I’m very happy.

Application to complete Installation in less than 24 hours. LOS issued resolved in less than 10 minutes. Great to know that if things go wrong, it will be sorted, Quickly. Some would argue that it shouldn't have been down in the first place but these things happen. 👌

As a technically challenged person I normally confuse everyone trying to help me electronically, but today I was helped by Thabo from Afrihost in record time. He has been well trained by them on customer satisfaction and technically too. Afrihost is one of the very few companies I can clearly believe who understand their customers and do their utmost to help 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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.
