I first used another company to assist with a domain and email. A week later and the email is still not working, they admitted the fault is on their side. Afrihost assisted me in less than 10min. Fantastic service! I highly recommend Afrihost

Best service I have ever received in my life, in the span of five minutes I had been helped, served a coffee and received my router for collection.

Ordered a Fixed Lte on Sunday 1 Dec, the order was ready to be picked up on Monday 2 Dec, I walked into the Afrihost center, registered my name and cellphone number, waited for 10 min in the Que. While I waited, I was offered either coffee or water. The service is excellent

Fantastic customer service. Nonjabulo S spent over an hour with me on Whatsapp sorting out my fibre transfer from CellC to Afrihost. This is what they call a 1st world approach to service (that was lacking in my former fibre provider, I'm afraid).

Quick and easy, their support is also very good. Nomcqibelo who assisted me did his job very quick and understood what my issue was and solved the problem quick and effectively.

Had problem with wifi connectivity when I woke up on the morning of 12/01/25. Had no internet access and was unable to get agents outside of the operating times. Did leave a request for call back and waited for WhatsApp line to be opened at 7am. They called me very quickly shortly after 7am and also had an agent on WhatsApp assisting me and they rectified my connection which was a glitch on their side. Very professional and patient team. So far a good service provider and will recommend them for quality service providers.

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.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.
