As a client I was truly satisfied and really happy with Afrihost unfortunately I can no longer make use of their services which is quite sad in itself. I can recommend Afrihost any day as the company is a really good and really reliable services provider. Their staff are always friendly and helpful and quick to assist and resolve any issues. Thank you for the many good years Afrihost and blessings for future endeavors to you.

Super efficient service from Thulanie at afrihost. I find the WhatsApp chat services really excellent as you are instantly helped and not left hanging on a line endlessly. All has been logged with necessary providers etc. Painless for me which was great.

Took Vodacom 58 days to try and resolve a circuit release on my fibre line, took afrihost 48hrs to get everything resolved and internet up and running again.

I was with a different ISP that was driving me insane if I needed assistance with service problems. Afrihost has blown me away with their friendly, knowledgeable and rapid service delivery. Afrihost is awesome

This review is based not on overall performance of fibre internet but how well one of the support team members assisted me on WhatsApp which is why I give such a high rating. Cunsumer experience always comes first, well done for giving her a job in support. She’s a keeper!

Moving to Afrihost as my ISP was the best decision I ever made. What a relief to deal with a professional, dependable and consistently reliable company. Highly recommended.

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.
