I have been with Afrihost for over 5 years. Amazing service! Takes less than 2 minutes to upgrade, downgrade, change debit orders details etc. The app is very user friendly and easy to use. The Whats app helpline is quick and issues are sorted out immediately. I haven’t found better voice and data pricing. Well done Afrihost!

Always get timely assistance. Much better service than my previous service provider. I've been using afrihost for years for hosting and now will be switching over to theor fibre as well. Will always recommend. The WhatsApp chat function is also very easy and convenient to use.

Shout out to Nomfundo, well trained and knowledgeable in navigating Chat services. She was patient and directing with such politeness and humility Positive experience and well trained agents who take their jobs seriously leaves an everlasting impact on customers and I am one of those. I have been with Afrihost for little over 10 years and and their service is consistent across all the organisation. Keep investing on your staff... It goes a long way and they are the ones to retain us. Thank you Nomfundo for such a positive experience. Ms. Maybenne'

Fantastic experience with Afrihost, particularly with Ayanda who assisted me over Whatsapp. My query was quite challenging to resolve over the phone but Ayanda handled it with patience and professionalism. Looking forward to a pleasant client experience going forward.

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.
