JHB Water hit the fibre cable in our complex. Within less than an hour of reporting it to Afrihost, they had contacted OpenServe and a technician was on site. Repair was made within three hours of the breakdown on a Friday! Excellent service from both Afrihost and OpenServe. JHB Water... take notes...

Great service I got from these guys. Fortunately or unfortunately I wont be visiting anytime soon due to the fact that all i went there for is still running like a well oiled machine 😀

Very fast and efficient service with a virtual smile. My speed was an issue and I was not asked the standard questions, Mduduzi M just hopped in and started problem solving. I was even given a quick way to fix the issue in my side as well which is great and very rare that advisors don’t “gate-keep information” Would always recommend your company based on your service

Getting better every day. I have been with Afrihost for over 12 Years. The support or help service seems to be more focused toward beginners and new clients and there are a few too many processes to have to navigate through before you can get to experienced support staff (from a Reseller or experienced user Perspective) but as I say, getting better every day.

Thank you Afrihost for coming to my rescue. I work mostly from home so WiFi is very important. This morning it was not working and I sent a WhatsApp to Afrihost, a agent messaged me almost immediately and after a few.simple.questions and guidance, he got my router working again...so efficient and helpful... That was the smoothest customer service experience I have ever had. Well done Afrihost 10/10 #happycustomer

The wifi connection is very strong compared to the other companies we've used. They're very good with solving any issues you may have and I definitely recommend Afrihost.

Have been with Afrihost for over 20 years, I hardly ever contact them as I hardly ever have issues, but when I do, their service is always fast, efficient and thorough. One of the few SA companies that seem to always get it right.

Had a great experience with Kgothatso, her prompt response and her sense of humor was amazing. She basically assisted me with my problem on WhatsApp and made me laugh 😃. Because of her customer service I would strongly recommend Afrihost to anyone.

Mpho.b stayed on the line with me from 4:20pm to 7pm! Well past normal hours. He was tenacious and tried various things to get my service working. As a non-IT person, he was clear and patient with my fumblings. I had a complex issue and he managed to resolve it. Thank you! Also LOVE the whatsapp channel for fault finding. Well done on this initiative.

Amazing service from Afrihost and their app is the most efficient and self empowering I have ever experienced with an ISP. I got connected within hours of selecting Afrihost and from call centre to app, I am more than impressed with the experience! Well done and other ISP's can learn a thing or 2 from you guys.

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.

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.
