Richard, Elvirna, Kate, Larry, Rhulani, Germaine and Thulanie to name but a few Afrihost support staff very friendly,helpful and professional 5 Star rating for them. Please note Elvirna has gone above and beyond the call of duty and I feel should be rewarded with a bonus for all her hard work.

Patience, well mannered, excellent understanding of client service which is rare to find these days. Won’t change Afrihost for any other service provider. They are excellent!

Just wanted to give a big thank you to Refentse for the way they handled my fibre installation query. From the get-go, they were on the ball—friendly, clear, and genuinely helpful. No runaround, no vague answers, just straight-up service with a great attitude. It’s not every day you get someone who actually listens and takes the time to make sure you’re sorted. Refentse made the whole process feel easy and stress-free, and that kind of service deserves recognition. Appreciate the effort and professionalism,keep up the great work!

Supportive, caring, patient, and the best service guaranteed. Unfortunately, I went instore to MTN for an uncapped deal and signed a 24 month contract on 28 October 2022. I have endless issues with routers failing, often no internet coverage, lets not mention the poor support and service. Because the 10 day cooling off period has passed I am stuck with them unless I pay out the contract. Completely disgusted. Word of advice - AFRIHOST is the best! Don't be hasty like me, get hold of Afrihost, their support team are helpful, their service is remarkable.

In a country where good client service can be rare, Afrinatic is really a gem within Afrihost and deserves the highest praise, always extremely helpful and friendly and always does goes above at beyond. Any staff member at Afrihost should really aim to be like Afrinatic. Really can't thank him enough.

(Translated by Google) When you experience a problem that is extremely rare, Afrihost helps you lightning fast. Afrihost's technical experience is very good which is extremely important. Afrihost is always very friendly and communication is extremely easy. Afrihost definitely cares which means a lot to me. Thank you for your excellent service in a country where things are no longer as good as they could be. (Original) Wanneer Jy n probleem ervaar wat bitter min is, help Afrihost mens blitsig vinnig. Afrihost se tegniese ondervinding is baie goed wat uiters belangrik is. Afrihost is altyd baie vriendelik en komminikasie is uiters maklik. Afrihost gee beslus om wat baie beten vir my. Dankie vir Julle uitstekende diens in n land waar dinge nie meer so goed is as wat dit kan wees nie.

Afrihost a Company mannaging our Vodacom Fibre Internet service is a fantastic service provider. Our dealings with them over the years we use them just grew and get better every time we need to ask them to assist. Highly recomended service provider with Compitent human resources to serve their clients. Rudy Botha on Eastrand of Guateng.

I have used afrihost since 2014. So far it has been really good. Like any other thing there is ups and downs, I would like to say they have tried by all means to stay on top of the matter. Till today, i can happily say they are the best hosting company in South Africa if not the whole of Africa.

I’ve had some problems with their service at times over nearly 20 years but all in all I’ve found Afrihost much better than ISPs I’ve tried previously and since the introduction of fibre it’s generally been plain sailing.

Getting started with Pure DSL

How is Pure DSL different from other DSL products?

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!

How to get connected to Pure DSL

Follow our Getting Connected guide for step-by-step instructions.

How long will it take to get connected?

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

How to check if you have Pure DSL coverage in your area

Use our Coverage Tool to check if DSL is available in your area.

Will all line speeds be available in covered areas?

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 you do not have Pure DSL coverage 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

Are your DSL packages shaped?

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

Is the price of the DSL line included in the package price?

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.

Will I have to pay a setup fee?

No, if you sign up with Pure DSL today, we will cover the setup fee of R999. Please note that this is a limited offer and Afrihost reserves the right to change this at any time.

Do I need a copper line to use Pure DSL?

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.

I do not have a copper line, can I get one installed?

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.

Can I use my current DSL modem?

Yes, you can use any DSL-ready Wi-Fi modem with Pure DSL. Need a new modem? Check out our DSL Modems and Wi-Fi page for more information.

Will my Pure DSL package be locked to a single location?

Yes, Pure DSL packages are locked to a single location.

Can existing Afrihost DSL clients get Pure DSL?

Yes, existing Afrihost DSL clients can sign up for Pure DSL.

Please note, however, that Pure DSL is a service separate from your existing DSL Internet. You’ll have to sign up for a new package via our website and Openserve will have to install new DSL services at your premises.

Follow our Getting Connected guide for instructions on how to get Pure DSL.

Please note that if you change from an older Afrihost DSL package to Pure DSL, you will NOT be able to change back.
