I recently cancelled with my previous fibre provider due to their poor customer service and signed up with Afrihost instead. Although my activation was delayed by 5 days because of issues on Vumatel’s side, I must compliment Afrihost on their excellent professionalism throughout the process. Their customer service agents answer calls within minutes, are polite, patient, and sincerely apologetic. A special thank you to Ricardo for the consistent email and telephonic updates, and for ensuring my service was finally set up. Truly amazing service – keep up the great work, Afrihost!

Air Mobile Afrihost is a great company/organization that has good assistants...everything they advertise on social media is true. So lovely. I got my sim card within 2days...I guess it's because I'm staying close to them. Rivonia Eden Sandton

It's all on the website of course, the help I needed, just not as familiar with jargon and such... chatted with Owen on Wgatsapp Chat, he lustened, paid attention and sorted my query. Did not feel for a moment that I was being dismissed with url's and figure it out. Glad I used the service, and met Owen.

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.
