Easiest and best experience in my 22 years of working for and in the ISP industry. Client focus and care for their customers and the patients of the support personal is commendable. Main reason why Afrihost has and still voted best ISP in South Africa.

My service stopped unexpectedly last night. This morning I connected with Afrihost via their WhatsApp chat (link was in monthly email). The service was prompt and efficient. The agent refreshed my line and I powered down for 5 five minutes and service was back. Fortunately I had mobile data to use WhatsApp, otherwise it would be a problem. 😁

The service was excellent and the Consultants knowledgeable and patient. I was guided through the process although it was not easy from my end .

What I like most about Afrihost is that when help is needed, they put me in touch with friendly, well trained and professional HUMANS. Their support staff have always been fast, courteous and able to sort out my problems. It's the human touch and their decision to not have me speak with yet another chatbot that directs me to a self-help article that makes Afrihost the superior service in my view, and the reason we run 3 businesses on their hosting.

I have many sites with Afrihost and have used them for years. Each year, they improve and institute more value and services for the same money. I am always eager to encounter them during problems, which have been so few, and not related to their work. I recommend them fearlessly.

Been with Afrihost for some time and I always suggest Afrihost as the Fibre provider to other potential clients. No billing issues and easy to use. The only 'complaint' is that the cost of Fibre is very high but that is probably the Provider Vumatel

My experience with Afrihost the company is up and down, but a gentleman called Bonginkosi assisted me via what's app today for 2 HOURS and was so patient, kind (I was in a bad mood) and supportive, didn't give up until we found the problem. 10 Stars for Bonginkosi!!

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.
