My five-star rating is for the interaction regarding my order with Afrihost. I can't yet rate the actual internet and its reliability. I will do another rating once I have used the service for a month.

Afrihost is an excellent service provider. If you have any issues you send a WhatsApp and someone answers you very promptly. They try and sort out your issue while giving you updates at all times. You feel like they are doing their best to help you. Thrilled with the service.

A company that takes initiative with prepping your WiFi route before it’s delivered, making for a real plug and play experience. Their customer support is top notch, with a WhatsApp feature that makes it easy for those of us with social anxiety. Had their service for 6 months now, would highly recommend.

Hands down, South Africa's best ISP. Inbound cal centre operators are extremely professional and as to the products, you can't find better in my opinion. Well done Afrihost team.

This is the only internet and mobile network provider that you should be with. Since taking out a fibre package with Afrihost 3 years ago I have only be wowed by them every step of the way. Their customer support is fantastic and entirely free. You can log a call back on their app for any issue where they call you within minutes. So no airtime or time spent holding on the line. Their sign process for all of their products is entirely digital and dead simple. Any changes you would want to make to you products like upgrades , downgrades, cancellations or new products is also a few clicks away on their website or app. I just signed up for their mobile offering AirMobile. I received my SIM card within a day of placing the order and I was up and running almost immediately. Great customer care is so hard to find these days but Afrihost has it absolutely waxed. Honestly, DO NOT CHOOSE ANYONE ELSE. Just sign up with Afrihost and you will thank me later.

Have had great service level and technical assistance, down to isolating a Fibre fault between the road to my house, and they arranged all the admin for me. Highly recommend

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.
