Afrihost is the best when it comes to customer service, they place a high standard on their service delivery and I cannot see myself with any other ISP. Even if Afrihost had to cost abit more, i'd pay more and save myself a ton of stress dealing with other ISP's with poor customer service.

I have not had a single day of problems with them. All my queries are resolved immediately and they stay in communication with you untill everything is resolved to your satisfaction. Highly recommend using them. Prices are also extremely competitive. Hands down best provider.

I know a lot of people will have bad things to say about Afrihost. My personal experience with them so far has been mostly positive. They are always friendly and understanding and resolve my queries in no time. The informative mail we get from the CEO makes me feel valued and not just another number. Keep it up Afrihost, you guys are Rockstars!

Had a query regarding signal on my router dropping repeatedly after a month of working fine. Help on the Wattsapp chat by Ricky S was set up quickly and easily. Ricky rebooted their server without asking me to repeat anything and was pleasant, polite, competent and quick. Love this kind of communication.

Quick effecient service. In a day and age where one takes a deep breath before reluctantly trying to contact a support desk, Afirihost is a breath of fresh air. Fast, effecient, friendly, effective.

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.

Afrihost is always quick to attend to enquiries. Siyabonga did just that. Courteous , thoughtful and patient in handling the enquiry. Much appreciated.

Team is fantastic. Service is beyond excellent. Every experience I have had... and there have been many... as been slick, problem solving, and on more than one occasion keeping me on the line, when I am sure I'm all set, to do the extra checks and and ensure all is in order before I leave. Really incredible. We'll done!

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.
