I am nervous of online help because I don’t understand all the terminology. Afrihost doesn’t have a local person to pop around. Your previous consultant taught me to take photo’s and ask questions which has helped me a lot. Alfred explained everything very well.

Great service! I’m a sucker for excellent customer service, and every employee I interacted with was helpful and kind. From Lindokuhle, the agent who assisted me via WhatsApp, to James at the gate, the lady at the front desk (whose name I unfortunately didn’t catch), and Happy, the gentleman who assisted me at collections. Each one left a positive impression. I even told Happy how impressed I was with their service; it’s clear they’ve been trained well.

As a long time Vodacom Fibre customer, I need to look for a new service provider as Vodacom Fibre couldn't resolve 2.4GhZ connectivity for over 7 weeks (since 13 April 2025) with numerous calls and reference numbers, all simply got closed without any resolution I asked ChatGPT for the best and most reliable Fibre Service Provider in Johannesburg, South Africa and Afrihost was the highest ranking and most recommended by ChatGPT. A simple prompts on their website and I was registered, sleek process and I also reach out to Afrihost WhatsApp for assistance and I was assisted by Mfanelo G, who was a pleasure to deal with, professional and sleek response, thank you Afrihost, I look forward to receiving my new router soon to with over Keep it up with the great service Afrihost Thank you Miguel Chan

Been a client for about 7-10years and have never experienced any issues. Have always received good service. Whenever I have queries or technical problems I'm usually assisted immediately be it via the help channels or via social media.

Hassle free service and you don’t have to deal with service providers who never take your calls. Afrihost has made surfing the internet so much easier. We are spoilt

Great customer service with exceptionally easy upgrade, relocation and migration processes. The app is also pleasant to use. I've never had a contract issue or serious functionality problem since getting fibre with Afrihost several years ago. They communicate when there are minor issues and they resolve them quickly. Also, the contract prices are very good.

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.
