I've been a client of Afrihost for several years and am still impressed by their efficiency in sorting out any queries and problems. Afrihost staff are well trained, friendly and go out of their way to assist.

Love the whatsapp customer service. It is so easy to get in contact without waiting on a phone call forever. Such friendly and efficient staff who know what to check to get things sorted.

Only reason for not 5 stars is that I think the responses could come a bit quicker, but I do understand that Whatsapp help is still in beta and that staff is probably inundated and responding to several chats at once ... Oh what the hell, have five stars for Asaph! ;)

Really great ISP, making thing so much simpler. I don't have to buy air time and stay on hold or even stand in a long line. Just a whatsapp msg and I get a quick response. Thank for the great service Afrihost.

Ever since my Son put me on to Afrihost my problems as a senior citizen and data have come to an end. Most of my friends and family are tired of my continual praise for this site and your companies ethics. You have made a lot of people happy. Well done guys regards Cliff Smith.

Most reliable mobile internet service in South Africa that I have used at much better rates than others. Availability and effectiveness of the help desk is excellent. Easy process to get signed up and no obstacles to altering the data plan you're on. Very happy with my service from Afrihost.

I am sad to go, because you guys have always been excellent! The only reason I am cancelling is because I am working for another ISP and will get free fibre. I will always recommend you guys to anyone. Afrihost always awesome service!

I love Afrihost. We’ve been using it as a family for more than six years. We use their fibre, hosting services and even their cellphone network. They’re a great one stop shop and support is quick and easy. Most reliable we’ve had over the years.

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.
