My first experience in transferring an account from previous owner to me was made easy. Lerato was so patient and clear in explaining the required steps through the WhatsApp chat. I'm staying here.

I've been a long time customer of Afrihost. They have been the best ISP in terms of service I ever experienced. They also have one of the best support systems and will always try to help you until your problem is solved. Awesome company!

I was not happy with some of the service under lockdown. Today I was given proper service and follow-ups without me even expecting the follow-up. Fair is fair, I gave them a bad rating when I wasn't happy. I have to give them 5 stars based on today's service as well as the good service in the last year.

The WhatsApp remote assistance is awesome. Refentse was amazing at helping me fix my router. I'm glad I didn't have to wait for 2 days for a technician to come in person.

Afrihost..... is there any better ISP? I just finished a living gell with Webafrica. Afrihost has been hosting my website domain for many years..... spoke to an agent today to sign up and here is the thing.... Afrihost is also on whatsapp like Webafrica - the difference..... you don't have to grab a "cuppa" and wait for Afrihost. Their response, even after-hours and on weekends is practically immediate!! I will promote and refer Afrihost to everyone They might not be the cheapest, but the service delivery and support a client receives is absolutely amazing!! Well done to the Afriihost Team!!

They are very nice to work with, they get the job done while still being polite and respectful to the clients requirements and timeline. I think that they are the perfect image of how a business should treat their clients

I sent a query to the watsapp group. Mali was there to help and to get to the route of the problem experienced. Results could not happen due to the outage experienced. He reported it,found answers and red flagged. I just have wait for technicians to find fault and fix it. Great service and feedback.

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.
