Love Afrihost, just recently joined and there WhatsApp communication is efficient and so nice to be able to chat to a person and not an AI Bot.

I promised and update and here it is (albeit a few years late :-)). I've had a great experience with Afrihost. I think they provide value for your money and the speeds are good! Recently signed up for Afrihost fibre to the home (pure fiber 10/10) through vumatel. Very easy setup and installation. I collected the router and set it up myself at home with help via WhatsApp. Friendly and helpful staff on the WhatsApp helpline. Need to test speed once all my devices are up and running. But so far so good! Long may it last. My only issue and the reason for the 3 star rating and not 5 stars is that I had to follow-up on every step from confirming they had the right info with vumatel to my router being ready for collection. These are simple things to keep a client updated about. I shouldn't have to call the helpline for this. I will update my review once I have tested the speed.

In these days of bot-chatting where you get all the wrong answers to a question, it remains refreshing to be able to always speak with a real person at Afrihost. I sadly have to cancel my subscription because I am moving to an estate where connectivity is part of the service offering by the estate. I can only hope that I will receive the same level of excellent service.

Afrihost is my choice for hosting as their service was the best. Will be moving all my business to them once other contracts finished with current suppliers.

Overall excellent service from both Sicelo and Afrihost. I'm grateful for the whatsapp customer service as well as network connection speeds. Really impressed with Afrihost offering as it is a breath of fresh air in comparison to my previous ISP. Sicelo was professional, courtesy and efficient in providing excellent customer service.

They offer a range of options to suit different needs and budgets, from 5GB to unlimited data, with speeds of up to 150Mbps. Plus, you can get a free router with certain packages, and delivery is free too! *Key Features:* - *Fast Speeds*: Up to 150Mbps ¹ - *Flexible Packages*: Choose from 5GB to unlimited data ¹ - *Free Router*: With select packages ¹ - *Free Delivery*: Get your router delivered right to your door ¹ *Packages:* - *5GB*: R49/month ¹ - *40GB*: R199/month ¹ - *Uncapped 20Mbps*: R299/month ¹ - *Uncapped 50Mbps*: R399/month ¹ - *Uncapped 100Mbps*: R599/month ¹

Good service provider with a personal touch from the CEO. Any problems I have are generally solved rapidly with little more than a WhatsApp. Line is stable and I always have the speed I pay for.

Received excellent service and assitance from Arthur. He was cordial, very willing to assist and was able to identify my problem with the least info. He is certainly an asset to your organisation. Keep up the good service.

I have been with Afrihost for roughly 6 years and I don't think any other network can compete in terms of value adds and stellar customer service provided to me as a customer. Bravo Afrihost, may our relationship continue for many more years, thanks!

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.
