I had an excellent experience chatting with Nonjabulo. From the very beginning, Nonjabulo demonstrated a clear understanding of my needs and provided precise and helpful responses. The communication was smooth, efficient, and empathetic, making the entire process enjoyable. Nonjabulo's expertise and attentiveness made me feel valued and supported throughout our interaction. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Contacting Afrihost via Whatsapp has to date been effective, even during Corona lock-down. Staff are well trained and informed. Thank you Nonthle and Afrihost for the latest pleasant service experience.

Afrihost features exemplary customer service, especially when compared to 2 other major ISPs that I interacted with for most of last week. These 2 sub-standard ISPs feature frustratingly slow responses via Whatsapp, and were inept in solving for a FNO glitch (Vumatel) that had been hampering my fibre activation. Glad to report that Afrihost figured out the issue within minutes of contacting them, and yep I've now promptly signed up with them - which too has been a painless exercise. If you in the market for an ISP service, and unless you like subjecting yourself to pain, suggest you look at Afrihost first 😁

Had the best customer service via whatsapp service from Mr Lesley M. The patience and time he took to make sure my query is resolved showed the culture of afrihost as the best Fibre service provider! Kudos to Mr Lesley and Afrihost.

Very professional place. Well laid out and their process for lining clients up with a consultant is top notch. You won't wait long and their security is good too. Parking can be a bit of a problem of they're very busy, but otherwise conveniently located.

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.
