A company that takes initiative with prepping your WiFi route before it’s delivered, making for a real plug and play experience. Their customer support is top notch, with a WhatsApp feature that makes it easy for those of us with social anxiety. Had their service for 6 months now, would highly recommend.

I use Afrihost as my ISP as well as hosting for various projects. I have always received top notch service. They are not perfect (no system or service provider is), but they always manage to solve any issues in a timely manner..

Afrihost is the best! Best support staff via whatsapp and which makes it more wurth the while, their support on a Sunday makes you feel you skipped the weekend and that its a normal bussiness day. No fuss no hustle!! Very professional

Tebogo M has reminded me why I am a loyal Afrihost client. The service I just received was amazing. Step by step he helped me troubleshoot the problem. He was patient, kind and very clear with his instructions. Service like this is impressive, definitely not something AI can do :-) Thank u, Tebogo and Afrihost!

Been my isp in the adsl times, and I only left because a rival was the only one supplying fibre at my house. Moving back to afrihost now as fibre is now available through them as well. I am paying a little bit more for their service as well, so should tell you everything about what I think of them. Great company.

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.
