Fantastic support and guidance from Sabelo ...WhatsApp support answered immediately and Sabelo was not only patient but provided clear and concise testing instructions. Plus advised on remedies available to my aging router. A pleasure to deal with Sabelo!

Awesome network service, if I do have a problem it gets sorted the same day. Would recommend Afrihost to anyone and they way cheaper than your big mobile companies. On top of it if you have an Mtn sim you don't need to get an extra sim you can use all the products relating to your mobile. Thanks afrihost for the awesome service.

Best customer service I've had over an extended period of time I've ever experienced. Multiple contact channels, responsive to issues (which are rare) and transparent. App just works. Prices are good.

Afrihost has a next level customer support and experience, their teams and knowledgable and truly helpful. I have never had an answer like 'Sorry I do not know or unfortunately we cannot assist'. They find out, help and fix it.

Have been with Afrihost for almost 10 years now. I seldom have problems, their systems are super user friendly and when things do have a hiccup their contact help people are patient and friendly and persistent until everything works again. I have used other providers but I always come back to Afrihost

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
