Whatsapp Chat Help worked like a charm. The consultant was very helpful and I was reconnected within minutes of reporting the issue. Well done!

Well managed and helpful. Migration of LTE from Cell C to Telkom was seamless but Telkom's inability to provide live data usage updates is a nuisance. I've subsequently been given a way of getting live usage updates via Huawei, which works very well.

Extremely happy with the WhatsApp assistance with Afrihost. Beats listening to music on a phonecall. My problem was investigated and easily fixed.

Glen really tried very hard to resolve the issue. Unfortunately this was not possible. However, he set a call up for me to bring the big guns. Thank you.

I had a problem with intermittent connection and speed, and when I contacted Afrihost and see I need to communicate via WhatsApp I thought this is going to be a disaster l, but it was totally the opposite, sufficient and they solved my problem without any headaches Athzr was the technical person that dealt with my problem and a big thumbs up to him, really friendly and he does not let you feel like an idiot seeing that not all of us is IT guru's, some of us is still a bit BC. Big thumbs up for Afrihost I would recommend them as a service provider any day. Good products, well priced and awesome service and support. Support is from 07:00 to 20:00. Really a convenient company to do business with.

Finally, a human touch from an ISP... Afrihost boasts a great culture within their establishment. My queries are resolved ASAP. I get notices when there are down times. BESt service from an ISP. I've been with them over a year now.

I love Afrihost, I have had very few errors in the years with them since ADSL and really happy with how they have always treated me. I am in IT myself so a lot of troubleshooting is done by myself if I do have issues to provide the required information to resolve issues.

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.
