My five-star rating is for the interaction regarding my order with Afrihost. I can't yet rate the actual internet and its reliability. I will do another rating once I have used the service for a month.

On the whole a good ISP - no one has 100% connectivity so there will always be a few issues. But Afrihost are a good ISP for our home office needs.

Finally, a human touch from an ISP... Afrihost boasts a great culture within their establishment. My queries are resolved ASAP. I get notices when there are down times. BESt service from an ISP. I've been with them over a year now.

I recently rejoined Afrihost after being with DSTV for a couple of years. I received a new router by courier and literally just connected the cable, nothing else. The whole experience from signing up to connection is painless. They really are exceptional!

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.
