Afrihost's support agents are miles better than any other's ISP's support that I have had to deal with. No unhelpful AI, and very dedicated to creating a satisfactory customer experience.

90% of the time I am very happy with Afrihost. Now-and-then (load shedding problems?) I experience some slowdown, but mostly very happy with them.

I am very happy with Afrihost. What I appreciate most is that they are quick to respond with any query (in my case) - this to me is the most important quality to have towards your customers.

I haven never seen a quicker reaction to helping solve any problem or misunderstanding than with Afrihost. Literally everyone you find on the whatsapp support is outstanding at understanding the situation and solving the problem. Cheers to the team!!

I can easily get my fibre for a few hundred Rands less than I am paying Afrihost. But they truly are worth the extra spend. I have never had any issues reporting a fault be it ISP or provider related. When there is a provider issue (9 times out of 10) Afrihost goes the extra mile and sorts that out too. I know of other ISPs who will tell you it's a provider issue and that's the end of their involvement. Afrihost goes the extra mile always

With all of South Africa's challenges due to load shedding and loosing work time we don't need Afrihost to add to our load. But thank goodness Afrihost are professionals and sorted out server issues quickly and promptly. Sandile was my tech doc and saved me from crashing my computer. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

Great service! They sorted me out in a few minutes. I have been waiting for a week for Vox to sort out my order and it's still not done. Afrihost all the way!

I Love how quick and fast they are with their reactivations or reconnections, as long as your router hasn't been damaged or there's no LOS light flashing red as soon as you make your payment they get you reconnected immediately. Their WhatsApp customer service is very nice they respond to you fast and they transfer you to an agent within 3 minutes.

I can honestly say that in all the years I have been an Afrihost customer I have never had an issue with them. Their customer service is 10/10, support is easily accessible and the way their packages/contracts are structured allows for some flexibility that I haven’t found with other providers. I have had an Afrihost LTE router and Afrihost data (APN with MTN), I currently use them as our email provider as well as our Fibre provider.

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.
