I've been a customer of Afrihost for more than 10 years. They consistantly have the best customer service of most of the companies I deal with. Their packages are affordable and hassle free. I am a happy customer.

Great service from the get-go. I run all my domains via Afrihost, and all my clients' websites, and now I've just applied for fibre. So let's see how it goes. For now 5 stars

I have been with Afrihost since the days of dial-up. While I have tried other ISPs from time to time, I keep coming back to Afrihost. Why? Value for money and real responsive support.

Never visited the place, but their online consultants are always available whenever I need help. I always contact them via WhatsApp, and they reply in a couple of seconds. In my opinion, they are the best Internet Service Provider in South Africa, and they seem to put their customers first. I would definitely recommend them in the blink of an eye. Keep up the good work.

They provide mobile data and Fixed LTE data at affordable prices. The beauty is that their service can be configured on an app. There is no fixed contract and the app ensures that you can amend, top-up, upgrade or cancel any contract. Their service is very good and any deviation can be reported through the app. I can recommend them!

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.
