Afrihost made customer support quick and easy. The consultant I spoke to, namely Suzan M, was extremely capable, friendly, professional and diligent. I highly recommend Afrihost for all your hosting needs!

I haven't received better customer service from any company like I've received from Afrihost. We have recently signed up with them for a fibre line and the efficiency from the time we completed the online application was just outstanding. Really such a pleasure to deal with Afrihost.

I have been using Afrihost for over 4 years now, they are the best in the business. I have never for once encountered issues that were never resolved within a matter of hours, their attention to customer service is everything.

Afrihost is an amazing web hosting company. I almost never have downtime on my website & of I do, it gets resolved very quickly. The help centre staff is also a pleasure to work with. They are very helpful. I highly recommend Afrihost's services.

Great service don't have to wait long real value for money after my experience with Vox. My previous experience was really frustrating going from pillow to post and not getting an answer sometimes for days. Working on WhatsApp it was more or less instantaneous. I was so impressed after using the portable cellular service that I've decided to switch my home fibre as well.

So while this is a five star rating it is not for Afrihost, their incompetence and lack of support is astonishing. Truly I’ve never been more disappointed in with customer service ever, however if you are having problems, just ask for Buitomelo when you give them a call. She resolved my issue in minutes whereas collectively it took everyone before that 5 days to address my issue. Buitomelo seems to be the only competent and informed customer service assistant in that entire place.

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.
