Afrihost support via WhatsApp very convenient and Rayn was very helpful and sorted all out for me in seconds. I recommend all my clients to use them for website hosting.

Have never had any problems with Afrihost ever since joining them. If I have any issues with my web hosting because of not being tech savvy, they are there to guide you. Very responsive and helpful. Before I took out fibre and my phone network with them I first researched from friends and colleagues how they feel about Afrihost. All of them vetted to their great service. Please keep up the good work, we/customers are so tired of being placed from pillar to post by these telecomms companies. You are such a relief to customers, in the market

Installation was on time, neatly done and connection activated with no troubles. Thank you Afrihost. Moving to a new installation address soon, let's hope the infrastructure provider is as switched on as Afrihost ISP services :-)

(Translated by Google) Excellent Service and Reliable Internet! I have been using Afrihost for some time now and am extremely happy with their service. The internet speed and stability are excellent, and I have experienced few problems. When I need support, their customer service is professional and quick to help. Afrihost also offers good value for money. I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable internet provider! (Original) Uitstekende Diens en Betroubare Internet! Ek gebruik Afrihost al geruime tyd en is uiters tevrede met hul diens. Die internetspoed en stabiliteit is uitstekend, en ek het nog min probleme ervaar. Wanneer ek ondersteuning nodig het, is hul kliëntediens professioneel en vinnig om te help. Afrihost bied ook goeie waarde vir geld. Ek beveel hulle beslis aan vir enige iemand wat 'n betroubare internetverskaffer soek!

Had a great experience with Mbali, she was patient and very keen to help. Had previously struggled with connection , when my router got delivered, it had not been configured properly. Spoke to Mbali via email and she asked to call me, I was online within 5 minutes. Thanks Mbali

Afrihost is not perfect, but I have always found their customer service really good. So, even though my internet speed sometimes fluctuates, there is always an efficient person available to help and reset my connection when needed.

The best service provider by far. They have hosted my domain and email for 15 years and are also now my mobile service provider with Air Mobile. If you don't migrate to Afrihost you are losing out. Do it now!

Thulanie on the whatsapp customer care line is one of the most efficient and knowledgeable consultants I have dealt with, an absolute pleasure and sorted out and detected the problem in 5 min whereas others could not do the same in 24 hrs. Well done and thank you Thulanie.

I had some hick-ups when upgrading my account which saw me without internet for a week but Afrihost resolved the problem and from there on I enjoy great connectivity at the correct speed.

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.
