Chatting with an Afrihost consultant on WhatsApp was a great experience. No queues or waiting for your call to be answered only to be told you are number 100 on the queue. Your questions are answered as swiftly as possible. Try it and you'll be amazed by the swiftness this service offers

Afrihost is the best. I woke up with no wifi and used their whatsapp line for assistance. My issue was sorted in less than 10 minutes. Prompt reply, super friendly and 100% efficient. Thanks Sandy and the Afrihost Team. ♥♥♥

I had a problem with intermittent connection and speed, and when I contacted Afrihost and see I need to communicate via WhatsApp I thought this is going to be a disaster l, but it was totally the opposite, sufficient and they solved my problem without any headaches Athzr was the technical person that dealt with my problem and a big thumbs up to him, really friendly and he does not let you feel like an idiot seeing that not all of us is IT guru's, some of us is still a bit BC. Big thumbs up for Afrihost I would recommend them as a service provider any day. Good products, well priced and awesome service and support. Support is from 07:00 to 20:00. Really a convenient company to do business with.

The best ISP, I love the responsiveness of the staff… that’s where it matters for me. Lucky is my latest favourite person from the ISP. If they keep being this helpful then I’ll stick with them.

I've been with Afrihost since 2021 and they are great. There are slight issues with the internet now and again but not hectic enough that it ruins my day or my experience. They are always on point and their whatsapp team is awesome❤️

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
