I wanted a second independent fiber connection to the same house address - one apartment upstairs with a tenant in another apartment downstairs. AFTER 5 weeks with constant following up, YodaCom told me: "that's very complicated, impossible". Afrihost - carefully went through entire process with me, very patient agent communicating via Whatsapp, all organized, second apartment no problem, all sorted. Highly recommend Afrihost.

Been with Afrihost for quite some time now, and from the inception of installation and the many months of service, have always had good service. Even when things go wrong, which has not been a lot, they have communicated well and given proper feedback.

The best ISP by far. Their client zone and other self-help tools are second to none. The invoicing is always on time, well formatted and easy to read. It is such a joy to have an ISP like Afrihost

Afrihost has always exceeded my expectations from hosting to mobile to the Zest cellphone to eSims where they can do in 10 minutes, from the comfort of your home, the giants in the country require you to visit a store to achieve.

I would recommend this ISP over and above any other. I have been with them for over 15 years and despite lighting striking modems and loadshedding, they have come through again and again!!!

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.
