Afrihost has been absolutely brilliant. Clear products, fair pricing, and support that actually knows what they’re doing. Setup was straightforward, and when I needed help, the response was quick and helpful, no being passed around or spoken to like an idiot. In an industry where service usually disappoints, Afrihost is a breath of fresh air. Reliable, professional, and genuinely easy to deal with. From application to completion, everything was done online and completed in a matter of minutes. Highly recommended.

We have been with Afrihost for 8 years. We had 2 outages, 1 was not from Afrihost, the other one was a password reset and it was sorted in no time. I highly recommend Afrihost. Thank you for grrat service

Very happy with my experience with Afrihost! Ive been with them for 2 years now and I've never had an issue with my fibre! The times i have contacted them about hardware issues (my one router lived out its lifespan and i struggled with configuration with the new one) they were friendly and very knowledgeable! I recommend Afrihost to all my family and friends!

I have dealt with a lot of ISPs but Afrihost is, by far, the best I have dealt with. Very efficient, starting from the order/installation process all the way to their support team. A very happy client, I am 🙌🏾

I've been a customer of Afrihost for more than 10 years. They consistantly have the best customer service of most of the companies I deal with. Their packages are affordable and hassle free. I am a happy customer.

My website server was down for several days, my I.T provider was terribly slow to assist. I looked up afrihost help desk on my own, with little knowledge on the issue . Sent a watsapp to their help desk and received awesome service. Totally exceeded my expectations. We are back online

Die beste, vriendelikse, vinnige diens, die meeste probleme kan jy sommer self oplos deur net by Afrihost se Portal in te log en hul verduidelik jou stap vir stap om die probleem op te los. 5 sterre van my af.

I recently signed up with Afrihost, and I mostly used WhatsApp to communicate. All those who responded, did so promptly and helped me every step of the way. They were friendly and helpful. I would gladly recommend anyone who would like Afrihost to be there hosting provider. Fast and efficient. My independent input as a new client.

Afrihost is the best service provider considering how people are complaining about internet service. I would highly recommend them. Your staff is always friendly on call or whatsapp. I'm really impressed. I'm so glad I chose you as my service provider!!! Stay healthy.

Fair pricing. Strong signal. (Depending on your placement outside of certain metropole areas). Decent after-service, whether via WhatsApp or live call. Awesome over the holiday period.

Received the best customer service from Palesa Mohoase In a world where great customer service is becoming increasingly rare, Palesa stands out as a shining example. Her assistance left such a lasting impression and I’m grateful

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
