The WhatsApp chat with Afrihost was answered quickly and professionally. I will be moving everything over to them. I cannot even get a basic thing done with my current service provider.

Afrihost is taking over my current Openserve line from another government owned ISP. Their assistance and friendliness was just what I needed after weeks of headaches and frustration. Thank you, Afrihost!

I have been with Afrihost for more than two years for my Fibre services in Cape Town and they are very efficient and professional. I moved to Pretoria in Centurion and it is a pity I don't see you in my area because I'm desperately in need of cheaper and professional Fibre services this side. If you also provide services this side please let me know.

Afrihost has been great from the start of Activating my service all the way through to setting up my router. Their staff is helpful and well trained to assist. Their feedback on open requests is impeccable. Moving over from Vodacom fibre to Afrihost has been the best move. Looking forward to having them as our ISP. Thank you Sihle, Eugene, Ompha and Buhle for your great service. Special thanks to Eugene for getting my line released by Vodacom and seeing the order through with all its difficulties.

Afrihost has a next level customer support and experience, their teams and knowledgable and truly helpful. I have never had an answer like 'Sorry I do not know or unfortunately we cannot assist'. They find out, help and fix it.

I chatted on WhatsApp with a gent called Alex M. He was brilliant, patient and understood exactly what I needed. My sister trusted them, and I do too. I recommend the professional service to anyone and everyone looking for LTE or uncapped solutions.

excellent service I received from Refilwe at Afrihost. She was extremely patient and took the time to guide me through everything step by step, ensuring that I fully understood the process. Her professionalism, clear communication, and willingness to assist made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. It’s rare to come across someone so dedicated to helping customers with such care and attention. Thank you, Refilwe, for your outstanding support it is truly appreciated.

I nearly didn’t go with Afrihost because I saw all the good reviews and thought it was fake reviews 😂 But I’m glad to say I’ve never experienced such good help from a company before. I can’t recommend them enough. Keep up the outstanding work Afrihost team 😁

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.
