Just wanted to give a big thank you to Refentse for the way they handled my fibre installation query. From the get-go, they were on the ball—friendly, clear, and genuinely helpful. No runaround, no vague answers, just straight-up service with a great attitude. It’s not every day you get someone who actually listens and takes the time to make sure you’re sorted. Refentse made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and that kind of service deserves recognition. Appreciate the effort and professionalism,keep up the great work!

I received my simcard, turned out it won't work on my router. Another package was then recommended that would work on my router. Thus, I don't need to purchase another router...saving me money. The customer service agent was absolutely great! Professional and quick service!

Afrihost is always ready to help. There is not a day where I logged a request and it wasn't attended promptly. They care about their clients!

Best internet service provider in South Africa! I have never had a single worry. The whatsapp chat line is quick and efficient. The app works excellent to view your invoices, usage and local faults. Everything you need to maintain your afrihost account in one simple app. Account payments are also done very easily and you receive updates on possible line faults in your area. If you are looking for a internet service provider, stop right here because you will not get any better. Keep it up Afrihost team!

Hi, I am an Afrihost fibre user and rarely have connections problems unlike many neighbours in our complex. Also, getting in contact with a consultant improves my understanding and ability of some IT terms. Keep up with the good work Afrihost.

I was assisted within seconds from my query on WhatsApp. I wish all service desks / client service / help desks will implement a WhatsApp service.

Had to contact them twice over the last few days over WhatsApp. Both times have been painless and the support staff were quick to resolve the issues while I was waiting. Less than 5 minutes from start to finish. Highly recommend Afrihost

Have been using Afrihost for many years now and have found their customer service to always be of the highest standard. Their product offerings are globally great - I know I've used others. Value for money on product packages also great!

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.
