I have no complaints, setting up my domains was so easy and their WhatsApp Web Chat service is so effective and professional. Issues are attended to and resolved so efficiently and most importantly their agents are so helpful and patient. Stellar customer service!

I’d like to extend a sincere thank you to Refentse for their outstanding assistance with my recent fibre installation query. From the moment I reached out, Refentse was professional, patient, and genuinely committed to resolving my concern. They took the time to listen, provided clear and accurate information, and followed through without delay. It’s rare to come across service that feels both efficient and human—but Refentse delivered exactly that. Their calm demeanor and willingness to help turned what could have been a frustrating experience into a smooth and reassuring one. Thank you, Refentse, for your excellent support and for going the extra mile. Your help made a real difference

Been with them since 2018 and I cannot complain about their service at all. I will rather do business with them instead of going directly through Telkom. Afrihost caters for all income groups, plus they reward loyal customers with nice upgrades. I'm ever so happy to be part of this community...

After having to go through ISPA to deal with MWEB's incompetence, changing to Afrihost opened my eyes to what service should actually be like. Amazing team of professionals!

Although, technically, AfriHost was challenged by elements outside their control and still their Staff, via WhatsApp, was so helpful and willing to investigate and find answers to my concern.

Very practical to be able to ask Afrihost for help if one has concerns and they seem to have a fully staffed chat service so one doesn’t wait to long for an agent.

Please can you just give Thabang a Bells or a raise. Or both! He assisted with my fibre connection issue and had it sorted out and connected in less than an hour. Two other agents on your team kept me waiting for days! Great service Thabang. And thank you!

Truly a pleasure dealing with Afrihost. Products are clearly set out on website, interaction via WhatsApp is fast and efficient - best I have experienced among other mobile operators, or many businesses for that matter

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
