Great connectivity, great App & great Rates!! No BS like VodaScam does. (Vodascam also has terrible slow useless app & bad voice and data connections.)

Awesome service as always, sad that I left you guys when the copper lines were stolen on my ADSL connection. I shouldve been with you guys from the inception of Fibre. Finally I've had enough with subpar customer service and im coming home. Afrihost is simply unrivaled

Great customer care service, awesome packages. Afrihost are quick to respond to questions, and sort out any query with professionalism, well done to this company. 👌

No ISP comes close to what Afrihost can deliver. They talk the talk, and they definitely walk the walk. I recently moved from that horrid "lime green ISP" - best decision ever made! Rather stick with Afrihost who knows what it means to be customer centric and provide excellent service.

Supportive, caring, patient, and the best service guaranteed. Unfortunately, I went instore to MTN for an uncapped deal and signed a 24 month contract on 28 October 2022. I have endless issues with routers failing, often no internet coverage, lets not mention the poor support and service. Because the 10 day cooling off period has passed I am stuck with them unless I pay out the contract. Completely disgusted. Word of advice - AFRIHOST is the best! Don't be hasty like me, get hold of Afrihost, their support team are helpful, their service is remarkable.

If I move to Franchhoek I hope that you provide service there. Because no one in any industry can come close to your business model. Please never let an air of complacency creep into your excellent business model.

Bryce at Afrihost provided unparalleled assistance, guiding me patiently through every step. I can't thank Bryce enough for his outstanding service. If there were a rating beyond 10/10, he'd certainly earn it. Highly recommend Bryce and Afrihost for their great support!

We moved from our previous provider and domain hosting company, and since the inception of our relationship with Afrihost, I have never experienced more wonderful service in my life! I think if I could get everyone to move to Afrihost I would definitely recommend it!

There were some hiccups at first from my side. Afrihost was patient and kept me in the loop at all times and my fibre was installed within no time. I can recomend Afrihost to anyone.

Needed help urgently to transfer a domain to Afrihost from another host. Thank you so much Musa for your help and for following through with the entire process! You have provided EXCELLENT service! NGIYABONGA all the way from a South African in the USA!

I have been with Afrihost since 2013 and never had bad experience. I do all my data through Afrihost. I have 10Gig of data on my phone a month for only R150, and I think it is a very good deal. My data doesn't disappear like other people. The best service provider for me and my friends that use Afrihost now. 20 day + 20 knight data for my router at only R119, is a good price for me. Thanks Gian and your staff that make this possible.

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.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
