Sicelo G is an absolute superstar. The patience was beyond with me. This is why I will not use anybody else. The WhatsApp support is efficient, knowledgeable and patient which must be quite a challenge at times I am sure.

I have been with Afrihost for a while and regularly engage on their Whatsapp support platform. One of the agents, Gershom M, assisted me today and was such a breath of fresh air. Afrihost, please hold onto the agents like these.

Awesome customer service and use to have competitive prices, however i think over time they didnt bother adapting their prices(mobile data prices), and there are currently better offers out there. I am 100% positive i would've stayed with them if their prices were just better because like i said, customer service and satisfaction is better than any i have experienced before...

Afrihost has been great from the start of Activating my service all the way through to setting up my router. Their staff is helpful and well trained to assist. Their feedback on open requests is impeccable. Moving over from Vodacom fibre to Afrihost has been the best move. Looking forward to having them as our ISP. Thank you Sihle, Eugene, Ompha and Buhle for your great service. Special thanks to Eugene for getting my line released by Vodacom and seeing the order through with all its difficulties.

Afrihost is a top-notch internet provider that offers fantastic service and unbeatable deals at affordable prices. In my year of being a customer, I never experienced any issues with my connection until today. However, within just 5 minutes of reaching out for assistance via WhatsApp, my problem was promptly resolved by a helpful assistant. The service I received was truly exceptional - the representative was courteous, efficient, and provided clear guidance. I am extremely grateful for the quick and effective resolution. Thank you, Afrihost!

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.
