Afrihost on my phone is great! So easy to top up and the app works well. Afrihost for our home WiFi is shockingly bad. Extremely slow most of the time unfortunately

Best internet experience since joining Afrihost 3 months ago after being with Telkom for may years. Their client service via WhatsApp is outstanding. Not holding on for minutes to talk to an agent and passed from one to another. One stop problem resolution.

My reason for moving from my previous ISP was the poor technical service and Afrihost has already blown me away. Really happy with their Whatsapp support. Every single query was resolved without any hassles. So far, so good!

A very profient and reliable internet service provider. They're always just a WhatsApp message away, with experienced, skilled, patient and friendly staff to guide you on whatever your query may be. In a world where many companies don't prioritise after-sales care...Afrihost and their staff gets it spot on. Reliable, stable, internet connection, I've never had a problem since connected with Afrihost

The most awesome ISP there is. Tech savvy, great response rate, user friendly platforms, accessible, safe, reliable. You can call them, WhatsApp them, email them, someone is there to assist. Awesome deals and competitive pricing. A girl is happy.

Fully signed up and package handed over to courier for delivery, all within 3 hours from my initial request. Best ISP by far when it comes to customer service! Keep it up.

Been quite the eye opener as I only come to realize that I am so outdated with technology, that even Vuyolwethu made me better understand it without even realizing it. They've been calm and relaxed with me with all the screenshots and questions. Excellent customer service. 👌

Afrihost has definitely got the most dynamic and outstanding customer experience in SA. Fibre issues are dealt with efficiently. In this day and age I have yet to find another organization that could compete with their excellence! Special mention to Boston for his kindness and efficiency.

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.
