The service was efficient and professional. The product offers and pricing are very competitive. The client Zone portal makes everything easily accessible and it is easy to navigate. The added bonus is being able to speak to an agent via WhatsApp.

They are a solid web hosting company with an easy to navigate control panel. Their agents are friendly and willing to help when you come across any issues. They also have a community Q&A section which I think in time will become very useful.

Afrihost is the best, their fibre network is the best I have ever used and their agents are on point; always ready and willing to help. I also like the WhatsApp chat, very easy to use and convenient for me.

They told me that I don't an active account with them, when I've been using them as an ISP for a whole month. They literally cost me over 200 USD in 2 days. When contacting them, they literally took over two days..They apparentlyddon't even have a complaint's department 🙄🙄🙄.. Very disappointed in their service.

I’m extremely happy with Afrihost. When I first moved to Vaalpark, I had tried a few ISPs to only be disappointed. Until a friend of mine recommended Afrihost. I moved over to them and haven’t regretted it a single day. They gave me everything I needed in an ISP. No speed reduction in the evenings. And honestly the best value for money. And special offers for being a loyal customer.

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.
