Afrihost has always been great. Now Vumatel part of it all and we still waiting for our WIFI to be relocated. Vumatel put in the cable and box but did not connect and ended up blowing another fibre line in the process.

Well priced products but the best is the service - dealing with real people - the app works well and the service through whatsapp has made it so easy to resolve a problem and get answers

Great service and I have never had any connectivity issues. Payment is very easy, and the packages are a lot more affordable than that of their competitors

I had an excellent experience chatting with Nonjabulo. From the very beginning, Nonjabulo demonstrated a clear understanding of my needs and provided precise and helpful responses. The communication was smooth, efficient, and empathetic, making the entire process enjoyable. Nonjabulo's expertise and attentiveness made me feel valued and supported throughout our interaction. Thank you for the outstanding service!

Absolute pleasure being a customer, even with connectivity issues all queries are handled timeously and within excellent response times with resolutions. I always will recommend Afrihost to any family members, friends, colleagues and even strangers

I can understand the slow response times as a result of staff working from home during the lock down and systems being redirected, otherwise awesome service delivery from Afrihost. Keep it up, guys!

Using this service provider for over 7 years, no issues, and their customer desk and service is better than almost most banks and insurance companies, how is it Mtn, Vodacom and Telkom who Afrihost use as partners cannot match Afrihost service, strange indeed. Keep up the good work Afrihost!

I've just moved from another isp to afrihost. So far so good. Hopefully, I don't have to change the rating in the future. Love the support as they make you feel like you are the number 1 priotory.

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.
