Afrihost has ALWAYS managed my challenges with the upmost professionalism and efficiency. Yes, there are the odd bad call, but they have never disappointed or underdelivered. Shout out to George, the most recent consultant, this dude was kwaai. Keep it up Afrihost, proudly South African.

We have been with Afrihost since April. And when we signed up the company kept in contact with the owner of the building to convince him to put fibre in. Eventually he did and as quick as it was installed ours was up and running. I convinced all the people in our flats to take Afrihost and most did. Thanks for ur excellent service and technical support when needed.

If you deal with a consultant named Sipho Mnguni, he is a true asset to the company and if all employees can follow his example then Afrihost would lose less clients. Identified the problem, explained how to test for the solution, walks you through the process step by step. Afrihost I hope you see this and make this guy a Manager because your customer service process would be much smoother and you'll have more consultants actually wanting to assist the clients and knowing how to and what they are doing, instead of irritating a client or making it seem like it is the customers fault.

I have been with Afrihost on and off for many years. My website has been hosted by them since 2010. I have left them as my internet provider once or twice but always go back. I am now back for good! They ARE the BEST!!

For the past years I've been with Afrihost, I am highly pleased with their service, when there is an outage of some sort they would let their clients know.

Great customer service, their agents respect clients and treat them very professional. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends.

If I could give more I would. Sicelo was more than patient and unbelievably kind when I asked the stupid questions. What a massive asset to your company. This whole experience (move to you) has blown me away. Mind blowing quick less than 24 hours to bring in the cable to set up the banking and configure my set up. Your website FAQ and your interaction are predictive informative and easy to understand. Cannot say enough good things about the move. Well done and thank you

Exceptional help provided every time I have a problem with my website. The problem is solved super quickly. I would have given up a long time ago, trying to do my website myself, if it were not for Afrihost's help via Whatsapp.

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.

General questions

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
