I have only had the very best service and experience from Afrihost. They have assisted me in a professional and highly skilled manner everytime I had a question and as a ISP, the very best. No problems 😊 ever. Good communication from them as well. Well done and keep up the good work.

Had a great experience today with Thabisile, an Afrihost consultant, who helped me troubleshoot the speed issues on my home network. Throughout the interaction they stayed calm and professional. My issue was sorted and I am flying high again! If only all service interaction with other service providers were as smooth as with Afrihost... Thanks guys (and gals)! Great service!

I have used them as an Internet service provider for years and have always been very happy with their service. They seldom have outages, and when they do they are addressed quickly and efficiently.

Very good and it saves money from buying lot of airtime. The only issue is that am unable to restore my zoiper account as I deleted it by mistake.

I have been with Afrihost for years and years and years. I became a customer after I saw how they supported rural schools with ICT training and infrastructure in 2010. They deliver a solid service. Their online customer portal is easy to navigate - Download your invoice? Easy-peasy! What shines is their customer service. I love being able to get support via WhatsApp chat. The first consultant I talk to can solve all my problems. You don't need to escalate or transfer to someone else. I have only ever needed to speak with my fibre provider once - when we set up the connection in my new house. Afrihost handles the rest. I promise you, you will not get better customer service. Ten stars for Afrihost!

I was freaking out as I was late with my subscription payment and finally had an opportunity to execute it but couldn't log in obviously. Afrihost staff were super informative and helpful. Very patient. They didn't just treat me as an account that needed to be paid. Their human interaction was exemplary. 100% Satisfactory. I would recommend them with no hesitation. They sorted me out very efficiently. SassyCook, thanks for your patience! Beverley and Reratilwe were awesome.

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.
