I have been a client of Afrihost since way back. 2006 or 7. Never had a problem they could not solve fast. And all the different products I used over the years was reliable.

I’d like to commend Tshegofatso from Afrihost for the outstanding service I received. Not only was the assistance prompt and professional, but Tshegofatso went above and beyond to ensure my fibre line speeds were significantly improved. What really stood out was receiving such excellent support on a Sunday — a time when most services are limited. Tshegofatso handled everything efficiently, kept me informed throughout the process, and delivered real results. Truly brilliant service and a great reflection of Afrihost’s commitment to their customers. Highly appreciated!

I have been a client of Afrihost for many years since my Systems Analyst brother recommended them. In that time I have had occasion to seek technical assistance and help with interpreting technical terminologies, and have always had an understanding response and empathy for the technical challenges of us aged retirees! For that I am extremely grateful and highly impressed by the level of customer care required of Afrihost employees. Thank you Gian!

Awesome awesome awesome. Knew what my issue was causing the delay in the activation of my Fibre service and also knew what was needed from my side to speed up the process. All this via WhatsApp and not on a call where I am put on hold until I get to consultant available. Everything was resolved with my first interaction with Ayanda C whole was very friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Thanks so much for your brilliant service Ayanda C made my day. Kiddies and wife will be so happy we can finally have internet at home

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.
