Nompumelelo was professional and quick to respond. He attended to my problem and fixed it with the first attempt. That shows me the standard of his work. It was good to get this professional support.

I've been with Afrihost since 2016. I've recommended them to many friends and family members, many whom have since switched and are extremely happy with having made the switch. Their customer service is great and I've experienced very little down time over the years. I will always highly recommend Afrihost to anyone looking to change ISP's.

Unbelievable service and quality.... Ordered my fixed LTE at 9am in morning and received it after 2 hours... The routers were already set up with sim and wifi setting as per application, very thoughtful! Never seen anything like this in south Africa.... This is some ultra developed world kind of experience. Unbelievable!!

What and absolutely great pleasure working with these people. VOX and Vodacom can learn a thing or two regarding customer service/Support from Afrihost. They got me signed up within a few minutes, all of this via a WhatsApp chat which I am very skeptical about. They pulled it off in a glamorous way. 10/10

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.
