Afrihost is a wonderful internet option - one of the best I would say. Their website is user-friendly, their operators are friendly and efficient and their packages are diverse and completely affordable. I am really happy with our Afrihost experience. Thank you for wanting to work.

Service is on fleek! Customer care feels human and personal, sometimes you forget that you are a client, you feel like the agent knows you at a personal level. Great team spirit Afrihost!!!

Keeping in mind that me as Afrihost client are not so familiar with the procedures when logging a fault and have no internet connection. It is already such a frustration but when you find good assistance it helps a lot with the process! Thank you to Apelele G. for excellent assistance!

Tuesday 30 April 2024 My line with RSAWeb was cancelled. I've been very disappointed by their service lately. Their pricing didn't link accordingly with their service levels. Wednesday 01 May 2024 I signed up with Supersonic. Chose my package, submitted my documents, everything. Thursday 02 May 2024 The entire morning I was battling to get confirmation from Supersonic regarding my order. I phoned, but no answer. I sent WhatsApp messages, no reply. I cancelled my order with Supersonic. Thursday 02 May 2024 I signed up with Afrihost. My fiber line was activated same day and my router arranged. Friday 03 May After I failed to connect the router for WiFi, Afrihost assisted me to connect my existing router so we can have WiFi while waiting for the new router. Quick and effective assistance received. Monday 06 May I received my router. I had challenges with the settings and Ricky took me step by step via WhatsApp. I'm sorted and everything is in order. I haven't experienced this level of service in a very long time. Afrihost is the service provider you need. Their service levels are very high, support staff are quick and efficient. They easily get a 10/10 rating from me. I have faster Mbps at a cheaper rate with Afrihost and excellent service on top of it. That's a powerful combination to have 💪🏽💯

I was with Afrihost many years ago using ADSL and was very happy with the service back then. I have now decided to move back connecting via Fibre and am sure I will receive the best service. In fact I already received great guidance on what to do on the Whatsapp line. Thank you Afrihose

From initial contact to line query the response has been amazingly quick, a very stark contrast from my last providers. After sales is what every organisation should aspire to

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.
