Have been with Afrihost for a number of years now and even migrated with them to Fibre. They are very helpful and I would recommend using the Whatsapp support service as it works very well. We have had extremely little down time so their up time is excellent

Been with them since the beginning of time, and never disappoints. From small beginnings to where they are today, their promise remained true to their customers.

I had low download and upload speeds but it took Afrihost 5 minutes to rectify the problem. With all honesty this is the best service provider in South Africa ATM

They are the best at handling customer issues. Their whatsapp communication is the best and most affordable way to connect with their team👌👌👌. They are very much willing at all times to assist. I have never had any complaints on all my interactions with them.

Relocated my fibre package to my new residence and had no more than 4 hours downtime, mainly due to my own difficulties in linking the devices again. Support staff very quickly assisted with setups and all sorted. really good service.

Great service. But the admin panel could be more user-friendly, with a better UX and UI and more helpful videos and instructions on what to do. But then the WhatsApp services were great, and they helped me with all I needed. So that balances out the old User interface. Thanks ;-)

Afihost is efficient and helps me as a small startup with no technical skills, get all my stuff sorted. I have had (mostly) wonderful experiences with their support staff. Just got off the line with Sasha P who was so professional and so effective in helping me. Thank you Sasha and thank you Afrihost!

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.
