Never had issues with them. On the occasional time when lines were down, they were handled very quickly. Their customer web portal is first-class.

It's always such a pleasure dealing with all Afrihost consultants. Though we were texting, I could sense the tone of sincerity with Phumeza. The problem isn't an Afrihost one, but she went beyond to assist me and report the matter to VumaTel as well as getting me my reference number. Thank you

I am an old Afihost customer. Had a break when another ISP offered me a deal with free voice. Since all the elderly has passed on we no longer require voice, so I'm coming back to Afrihost. Glad to be back.

I'm housesitting and have not had coverage for a few days. Even though I didn't have the information that was required my question about Pietermaritzburg experiencing a problem with connectivity, was answered immediately.

I used WhatsApp to communicate with Jessica S from Afrihost. The experience was a breeze she helped me every step of the way. I would highly recommend Afrihost because most companies that supply fibre you cannot get in touch with them at all if you need any assistance.

I can easily get my fibre for a few hundred Rands less than I am paying Afrihost. But they truly are worth the extra spend. I have never had any issues reporting a fault be it ISP or provider related. When there is a provider issue (9 times out of 10) Afrihost goes the extra mile and sorts that out too. I know of other ISPs who will tell you it's a provider issue and that's the end of their involvement. Afrihost goes the extra mile always

The service from Afrihost is absolutely amazing with very efficient and friendly consultants. Nokwanda was a superstar and assisted me immediately. I promote Afrihost to everyone wherever I go, as they are the best fibre provider and deserve all the credit they get. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Their service is great and the interaction on WhatsApp I was so sceptical if they would able to assist and resolve my issue and they have done it so well and simple

I cannot recommend Afrihost enough. I have been a client for going on 8 years now and I have received only excellent service from them. From the smallest query to the more technical ones, the support team is friendly and fast to respond. They are also exceptionally knowledgeable and always happy to help. Super grateful for Afrihost :)

always give fast and greate support and love the fact you can message them on whats app the longest i have waited is 10min but most of the time it has 0-4min. Yes it can be instant , and I you can tell that they have had real training and are not just reading from a script Like some MassiveWEB providers ;) . Thank you to Musa Khumalo from Afrihost for the awsome support and service .

Great hosting provider! Everything is extremely automated and immediate. Representatives on WhatsApp are shockingly experts and have a great understanding of project hosting. First hosting provider I’ve dealt with in South Africa that have people with that kind of expertise.

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.
