I chatted on WhatsApp with a gent called Alex M. He was brilliant, patient and understood exactly what I needed. My sister trusted them, and I do too. I recommend the professional service to anyone and everyone looking for LTE or uncapped solutions.

Ordered Pure Fibre 20 on 3 Dec. Openserve called on the 4th to schedule install and installed today 7 Dec. Just activated the my Fibre on my old B315 LTE router and it works! (while I wait for the new router I ordered to arrive). Love the WhatsApp support line, very quick responses. Love the ClientZone website. That was quick and painless!

So far, great experience with Afrihost. Customer care has always been available in a timely manner, unlike some other ISPs. Using LTE and pleasantly surprised with overnight delivery, quick access to internet at 100mbps.

(Translated by Google) We have been customers at Afrihost for +- 15 years. Had very few problems with their service. If there were interruptions, they were very helpful in resolving them. Usually did more to help than was expected of them. Definitely recommend them! (Original) Ons is al +- 15 jaar kliënte by Afrihost. Baie min probleme met hul diens gehad. Indien daar onderbrekings was, was hul baie behulpsaam om dit op te los. Het gewoonlik meer gedoen om te help as wat van hul verwag kon word. Beveel hul beslis aan!

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!

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.
