Afrihost is a top-notch internet provider that offers fantastic service and unbeatable deals at affordable prices. In my year of being a customer, I never experienced any issues with my connection until today. However, within just 5 minutes of reaching out for assistance via WhatsApp, my problem was promptly resolved by a helpful assistant. The service I received was truly exceptional - the representative was courteous, efficient, and provided clear guidance. I am extremely grateful for the quick and effective resolution. Thank you, Afrihost!

Love dealing with them. THey are always professional, fast and very efficient. Whatsapp chats are super helpful and I was not transferred from one technician to another. One person deals with you from start to finish. Lovit, awesome service.

Long time user of Afrihost. The online portal and phone app gives me any info I want/need. Makes upgrading/changes very easy with its automations. Every time I had an issue the WhatsApp support sorts it quickly and friendly.

Afrihost not only has products to meet your internet needs and speeds, whilst they also hold a compliment of staffing that has a willingness to assist you and guide you every step of the way. I recommend Afrihost to everyone who works remotely from home especially those who serve in international markets. They are also the number one ISP in our country of South Africa.

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

Yes, the price you see is the price you pay! All Pure DSL packages are bundled, so the price is for both your data and the line rental, all-inclusive.

Yes, you’ll need an existing copper line at your premises to connect to Pure DSL. You do not, however, need to pay for voice line rental to get connected to Pure DSL. You only need to pay for the DSL line rental and data.

Please note that because Pure DSL is a separate service from regular DSL, Openserve will have to install the new DSL services at your premises. This can take up to 14 working days.

Unfortunately Openserve will NOT do any new installations of copper lines.
